Is it true that a ketogenic diet reduces markers of systemic inflammation in humans?
Yes. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials reports that adherence to a ketogenic diet improves some inflammation-related markers, including TNF-α and IL-6, in humans. Additional human and animal studies point in the same direction but cover narrower populations or markers.
