Virta Health raises $45 million in investment to expand low-carb treatment of type 2 diabetes

Virta Health has just raised another $45 million in investment, after a highly successful one-year keto trial showing that type 2 diabetes can be reversed. The series B raise increases their total funding to more than $75 million.
This is taking the company another step closer to their ambitious mission: reversing type 2 diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. It also shows that some very smart people in Silicon Valley – the investors include Venrock, Obvious Ventures and Founders Fund – believe in the promise of a ketogenic diet to revolutionize the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

It is NOT a diet, it is a lifestyle.
If the "normal" diet is what made you sick in the first place, what the point to resume it ?
I've been doing low carb for over a year now. I have absolutely no desire to go back to a "normal" diet --- EVER. There's nothing "normal" about eating stuff that makes your toes go numb and your retinas die and your willy go limp. If someone dumped you in a vat of acid would you really want to climb back in once your skin healed? We were born into a toxic food environment. The cure is to get yourself out and stay out.
When boomers find out how their food suppliers and government have totally screwed them look out, the backlash is going to be epic. This could well be the most invest able trend ever.
