[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 299208, member: 33342"] It's not understandable. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of human physiology. Confusing dietary ketosis with ketoacidosis is like saying "you shouldn't take a bath" because "some people get drowned in a tsunami". Dietary ketosis produces plasma ketone levels of 0.5 - 5 mmol/l Ketoacidosis kicks in between 15-25 mmol/l It is very, very difficult to get to 5mmol/l on dietary ketosis. The highest I've ever heard of is 9mmol/l from a migrane sufferer who ate a diet of protein and coconut oil. No-one goes into ketoacidosis because they are too deeply into ketosis, they go into ketoacidosis because they don't take enough insulin. As an insulin producing T2, it would be kind of difficult for Swim to get there, even if he didn't take his insulin. [/QUOTE]
