Ketones are a backup evolved to be used in short durations. How many people have you known who have stayed on a ketogenic diet for 10 or 20 years without ever coming out of ketosis? Before modernity, maintaining long-term ketosis (eg decade+ length) would have been extremely difficult. Some anti-sugar advocates portray sugar as inherently evil, suggesting that any consumption will lead to significant harm. However, moderation is often more practical: 1. Many marathon runners use glucose gels and still enjoy long, healthy lives, typically living about 7 years longer than non-athletes. 2. Most researchers at the National Institute on Aging do not recommend avoiding all sugar or focusing solely on ketogenic diets. In fact, studies show that intermittent fasting often leads to longer lifespans than ketogenic diets. 3. New data is showing that long term ketogenic diets lead to the death of healthy cells, increased adipose tissue, increased triglycerides https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado1463 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado1463
