Stupid misconceptions about “Ketosis” and ‘Ketogenic Diets’

Again, I see so much nonsense, especially from the dying vegtard cult, but even from people calling themselves nutritionists or “nutrition scientists” – which is hilarious since the “study of nutrition” for human beings is an ideology, not a science. Below are five points that I hear over and over again as soon as some total dimwit open his or her mouth. 1. Your body need glucose and thus being in ketosis is bad […]
