I have lightly followed Mercola for decades but I don't pay a lot of attention otherwise. The change that first alerted me to something going on was his change on carbs a few weeks ago. Abandoning his KETO recommendation, "he" is now recommending a carb loaded diet that would destroy anyone's health and turn them diabetic. I instantly knew that could not be Mercola - unless he has been "captured".

Keto, lowcarb and such like IF starves your body and brain from the glucose the body and brain prefers. Science proves that. You aren’t really burning fat properly like you think and gluconeogenisis is using cortisol, adrenaline stress hormones to generate that glucose and leads to bad fat oxidation and insulin resistance long term. Think about it—stress hormones really needed for short term energy should not run your entire brain and body all the time. Degrades and shreds muscles, my thyroid went haywire, bones weaker, (2 surgeries for broken bones) metabolism on the floor and insulin resistance weight gain and more. I eat simple carbs like fruit and easily digested carbs. I’m not stuffing my face with bad carbs and especially bad seed oils. I’m probably over 200 carbs a day now. Decent amount of food. I feel much better, sleep great, more energy with these delicious fruit carbs. Nutritious carbs. Fats, even butter, b doesn’t really have much nutritional value beyond that but maybe Vit A. Fruit has a lot. Lustig is wrong too. Very wrong, but making plenty of money on those mice. Several gurus are now eating more carbs. Admitting the damage. Mercola woke me up to this. I’m grateful but it hasn’t been easy changing.
Nothing wrong with fruit, in moderation, that mother nature meant to be eaten such as berries, papaya, etc. Goes great with a healthy meat based diet. Americans typically eat anything but a healthy diet of mostly processed foods extremely heavy on the processed carbs. Thus the diabetes epidemic. Then you add in all the heavily consumed industrial seed oils and you have a population of sick, weakly people who are dying early. Prior to 1970, Alzheimer's wasn't even a thing... seed oils instead of animal fat and coconut oil.
I understand. I've never agreed with the entire Keto philosophy and got the books because my son was using it and I wanted to understand it better and be able to cook good meals he could heat. I believe in balance in everything, especially eating. I don't eat any junk foods, bad carbs, bad fats, eat all pasture raised meats and raise my own chickens for my eggs. I also get raw milk from grass fed cows and won't give up any quality food group. We can only eat so much and I believe in a well balanced and high quality food diet. I'll never give up fruit, especially fresh berries of all kinds and now is the season they are coming in.

Yes, that definitely alarmed me! I have bought some of his Keto books, so when I saw that I was commenting to myself…..are you crazy!!!!
