Betahydroxybutyric acid (Ketone)Conclusion
When fats are oxidized into water and carbon dioxide, several by-products
(ketones) are formed. These include acetone, acetoacetic acid and
betahydroxybutyric acid. When these ketones are produced in excess, either
through incomplete oxidation or excessive break down of body fats from
high protein diets, a condition occurs called ketosis, which results in acidosis.
This leads to tissue damage and hypo-function of cells (organs and glands).
Ketosis can also occur in hyperthyroidism, starvation, fevers, and various
toxemias.
Keep it simple. All the substances that your body requires, including fats,
are found in organic fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables. If it’s not in them, you
don’t need it! Science has lost touch with the simplicity of health. Animals
intuitively eat the food assigned for their particular species. So should you.
However, there are chronic and degenerative cases where the
supplementation of a small amount of plant oil, like Evening Primrose, will
help tremendously. This is especially true in any neurological condition, such
as M.S., Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
