CARB MYTHS
Myth
#1: Ketosis is Dangerous
Benign Dietary Ketosis, or BDK, is not the same as Diabetic Ketosis.
BDK signifies the burning of fat cells for energy. It is the presence
of ketones in the urine and breath. Ketones are the remnants of
burnt body fat. BDK is a favorable state when dieting. It is only
dangerous if it is not brought on intentionally, and if it occurs
in diabetics or anorexics.
Myth
# 2: Low-Carbers Have Bad Breath and B.O.
Though it is a fact that ketosis can cause a change in breath and
body odor, it is not a long-lasting effect.
Myth
#3: All that Fat will Give you High Cholesterol!
Because insulin is responsible for cholesterol levels, adjusted
insulin levels can actually DECREASE your bad cholesterol.
