- arghwhat 3y agoBonus fun fact: People in ketosis tend to have a breath with a hint of nail polish remover. This is because one of the ketone bodies is acetone, a result of spontaneous breakdown of one of the other ketone bodies. Only the liver can break down the acetone, and as it floats around the blood some of it ends up exhaled. (At very high levels of ketone bodies you end up in something called ketoacidosis. In this state your blood turns acidic, which can quickly develop into a medical emergency. This mainly happens to those with health issues like type 1 diabetes.)
