“Healthy fat” and serum uric acid.
Several notes on “healthy fat”, ketosis and blood uric acid levels.
Low-carb high-fat diet (LCHF) dangerously resembles the “high-fat diet” that induces disease and chronic inflammation in mice.
Low-carb high-fat diet (LCHF) dangerously resembles the “high-fat diet” that induces disease and chronic inflammation in mice (as % of calories): 20% from protein (=99% casein), 20% from carbs (=maltodextrin, some sucrose), 60% from fat (=90% lard), and some fiber, vitamins, minerals. The dangerous resemblance between the “unhealthy” high-fat diet for laboratory rodents and “LCHF” is something to keep in mind.
Phinney and Volek since 2011 say: “Above 1 mmol/L (of blood ketones), more than half of the brain’s fuel comes from ketones.” A Test: is this true?
A Test of Physiological Literacy.
Do people at Virta Health understand the physiology of ketosis? Do you? A Test.
A 52-y.-o. patient has ketones in the urine.
1. What is his level of blood ketones?
2. Does he experience the amazing benefits of ketosis?
3. Can it be Virta’s patient?
4. What are his BG and HbA1c?
