This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

On the flip side, you require a steady supply of glucose into your cells to live.

Also I'm not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.

Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I'd rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.

Gluconeogenesis is a thing, go look it up. Again, you're doing these half-assed "gotchas" without doing any research of your own

100% Agreed

The body can produce glucose on demand from stored fat, its not a essential macronutrient.
