Pittsburg, Kansas | What that fails to say is that ketones are preferred fuel fo both the brain and the heart. Those two organs will hog what ketones they can from the bloodstream and utilize them in preference to other organs such as muscle.
Studies show the heart functions more efficiently when utilizing ketones over glucose. Produces more blood flow per cycle.
It is also why cognitive improvement is shown in dementia patients when either on a strict ketogenic diet or taking exogenous ketones.
Ketones in many respects are superior fuel compared to glucose and especially so for people like myself who have insulin resistance where our cells no longer function as well on glucose.
