So, you mean  Stefansson was only checked(re urine/analysis/ketones)  to see if he'd eaten any carbs, not for vitamin or mineral-deficiencies etc.? Mind you, liver contains some carbs(one reason why zero-carbers often recommend against it), and that was part of his diet, from what Stefansson himself stated.
