"These diets can cause quite a few health
risks over the long run. Here are the top
ten:"

"10.Keto breath
Keto-breath can be described as a cross
between nail polish and over-ripe
pineapple. This is common for dieters
who consume so few carbohydrate that
they put their bodies in a state of ketosis."

LOL! Since when is keto-breath a long-term health risk?

Also, when's the last time you smelled a mix of nail polish and
over-ripe pineapple?

Dieter's bad breath It might not be a health risk, but it is an issue. The
dieter is usually unaware of it, but other people may find it exteremely
unpleasant. In fact, it is the number o reason that other people in your
life may try to undermine your low carb diet. And it can be quite a
disincentive for romance.

The very good news is that "ketobreath" can be elimnated by cutting down
your protein intake. When you are not eating more protein than your body
needs, the bad breath should stop. I've written about this on my web page

It "might not be a health risk"? Why the equivocation? When might it be
a health risk?

I haven't had anyone mention my keto-breath, but my friend's pork rind
breath will knock down an ox.

A handsome young man and a beautiful girl met and it was love at first sight.
They immediately got married and went on their honeymoon. On their wedding
night, the bride went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Unfortunately, she had a case of bad breath so severe she had to take a
powerful drug to control it. She was about to take the drug when she decided it
would be best to let her husband in on her secret since they would be spending
the rest of their lives together.

So she returned to bed without taking the drug.

Her husband then went into the bathroom to freshen up. He also had a problem
with foot odor so offensive it required a special preparation to keep it under
control. He was about to apply the preparation when he decided it would be
better to let his wife know about his problem because she would find out about
it sooner or later anyway.

He skipped applying the preparation, returned to bed, grabbed his wife and gave
her a big kiss.

She said, "Honey, there's something I have to tell you."

"OK," he said, "but I already know what it is ... you ate my socks
