Dr. Thomas Seyfried - Superfuel Revolution: The Unstoppable Power of Ketones for Brain and Body

Ketones are water-soluble molecules (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate) produced by the liver from fatty acids during fasting or low carbohydrate intake. When the body is deprived of glucose, it begins mobilizing fat reserves, converting triglycerides into fatty acids, and transforming them into ketones.

These "super fuels" efficiently power the brain, heart, and mitochondria, requiring less oxygen to produce more energy compared to glucose or fatty acids. Our ancestors thrived in a state of ketosis, showcasing its evolutionary significance and unmatched energy efficiency. https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1872317862712340691
