I found this on the site
>>>Diabetes and Ketones
Ketones are a dangerous acid caused by the body burning its own fat, which happens when the body can’t get enough glucose from the blood to use for energy. Ketoacidosis is an extremely dangerous and at its most serious can lead to diabetic coma and death.
Diabetes and Ketoacidosis
People with diabetes can learn more about ketones, finding them, and what to do if you think you have ketoacidosis using the links below. <<<
It's nonsense and of all places, this is one where it shouldn't be.
Firstly, ketones aree NOT acids. secondly, even if they were, not all acids are harmful.
Ketones are functional groups in organic chemistry, which in the body are breakdown products of fat metabolism. A result of normal weight loss!!
Far from being harmful in themselves, they can be a valuable fuel. the brain can run perfectly well on ketones. We don't need to use glucose as a fuel. Fats do well, with glucose as a bit of a boost in times of stress.
Ketones in the system associated with low blood glucose levels are merely a sign that fat is being burned. Only when associated with high blood glucose levels are they a symptom of a harmful process, probably ketoacidosis, which is a life threatening condition. Blood should be slightly alkaline.Changing its pH will affect the functioning of many biochemical processes.
