It's the exogenous ketones bit that I'm interested in. Dr Richard Veech has had some interesting publications out on dextro-betahydroxybutyrate [0]. In short, d-bhb is like an entirely separate macronutrient (not fat/carb/protein/alcohol) that is readily metabolizable and has higher thermodynamic efficiency- this translates to lower-metabolic damage post brain trauma, much better underwater breath holding times, something like a couple % power output increase for athletes, etc.
Thing is, the d-bhb production process is really expensive, and it's also pretty unpalatable (and needs to be eaten en masse).
