Classic case of erroneously inferring the converse. That starvation induces ketosis does not imply that ketosis indicates starvation any more than all cats are mammals implies all mammals are cats. Ketosis is foremost a brain growth state.https://twitter.com/Drgarthdavis/status/1063060809125978112 …

1/ I just gave a talk on this. Major points: *Ketones are known fuel and structural material in fetal/infant brain in mammals *No known species is as ketogenic as humans, and children more than adults (concordance with human high adipose, esp babies, and with relative brain size)pic.twitter.com/dVoWTmJd4f

2/ Ketosis would be expected with diet available during period of evolution of the brain, especially considering what must have been consumed in order to meet the combination of required nutrients for brain growth (Second slide addressing only energy+phospholipid needs)pic.twitter.com/Xd3CawabxH
