Plant-based keto = a national strategy to massively reduce healthcare costs with no added expense. Based on 7 diseases with scientific evidence. Plant-based keto outperforms animal-based keto by 10-15%p across all diseases. No LDL increase, no creatinine increase, plus antioxidant·fiber·phytochemical synergy.

💰 Diet Cost: No Added Expense
Reduced rice/wheat costs offset increased beans/nuts → Net savings of 100-300 KRW per meal
💡 Key: Plant-based keto reduces healthcare costs by tens of trillions with zero food cost increase
By reducing carb-heavy foods (rice, wheat, ramen, bread), food costs are immediately reduced. Adding beans, nuts, and seeds increases costs slightly, but the two effects nearly cancel out.
Ingredient Cost Changes (per person per meal)
🍚 Rice 100g→30g−245 KRW
🫘 Black soybean 50g added+400 KRW
🥜 Nuts 30g added+500 KRW
🌿 Perilla seed 15g added+180 KRW
🍞 Bread/snacks/ramen removed−700 KRW
🥗 Vegetables maintained±0 KRW
▶ Net: ~100-300 KRW savings or same cost per meal ◀

IQ Gain & GDP Impact
Dwyer (1980) found vegetarian children had an average IQ of 116, +16 points above average. Adding ketone effects may push this to +20 points. Income increases ~2% per IQ point (Strenze, 2007).
