Translate Into:

epilepsy and the ketogenic diet
When people think of the word “diet” you tend to think of low fat in there somewhere, and sayings like “you are what you eat” come to mind. The Ketogenic diet would let people eat of bacon and cream cheese instead, but this diet is aimed at combating epilepsy seizures in children who don’t respond to drugs alone.

Read about an 8-year-old with epilepsy whose life has changed since he started the Ketogenic diet.
