The best way to study ketogenic diet is in communitiesthat eat this way. There probably don't exist anymore. So you need to look at trhe writings of explorers who studied these communities in their natural state. Read what Vilhjalmur Stefansson has to say about far noth Inuit communities.
Low Carbohydrate Nutrition: Adventures in Diet (Part 1) By Vilhjalmur Stefansson. The community lived on fish and water, from the cradle to the grave. This went on from one generation to the next. And they were in exceptionally good health. There can be no doubt that the diet was ketogenic. These people didn't eat
any carbohydrate. The extroardinary thing was that people didn't suffer from scurvy and the other deficiency diseases.
It goes to show that the human body can get used to an "ultra low-carb diet". And there is no need for a study to prove it.
