Two children died in Canada. Becel induced death?

I have every few weeks a call from the two journalists who told us they had an article on their desk that says two epileptic children in Canada have died after eating the ”ketogenic diet”. Ketogenic diet is a high percentage of lipids and low carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet is used successfully as a treatment for epilepsy.


Since LCHF in our Swedish model is a modern equivalent of the original hunter’s diet, it is inconceivable that children could die from it. If children have died from the diet, humanity would not have survived in history.


I therefore believe that the children in Canada were not allowed to eat natural animal lipids, but that they instead probably had got unnatural lipids like margarine, such as Becel and Omega-6 oils, such as corn- and sunflower oil.


Does anyone know about the article and its origin?


Piltson notifies in a comment, a reference to the article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19027591
The children had apparently Selenium deficiency. It may be well to impoverished soils. Is there a difference in low lipid and high lipid eaters?


According to Andreas Ehnfeldt is the largest source of Selenium in animal foods.
