Dr. Berg discussed the truth about are ketones poisons or a therapy. It has to do with this confusion thinking that Diabetic Ketoacidosis is the same thing as Nutritional Ketosis which is not the same. The truth is ketones can be very therapeutic to your body and they are not poisons. He also talks about how ketones protect and help with the recovery of nerve damage from glucose.   

Ketones  • More Efficient (Requires Less Oxygen) • Neuroprotective  • More ATP • Increase More Blood Flow to 39% • Prevent Protein from Accumulating   

Glucose • Shrinks Brain  • Hold Fluid  • Decreases Memory  • Oxidation  • Glycation  • Fatigue  • Decrease Oxygen • Amyloid Plaque

when you don't, you run out of insulin, you don't have any more insulin. So therefore

1:20.0

your ketones go up and up and up and up and you become very acidic and that's dangerous.
