Thank you for this, Kiwi. :)

Every day I learn more and more about the human body and how it works. It seems that by reducing glucose via obvious food sources you can reduce oxidation but you can't avoid it entirely (obviously). But it does significantly reduce it. And by reducing protein too somewhat, so more of a true ketogenic diet, you can reduce it even more. But fatty acids, especially problematic or poor ones, can also cause oxidative stress.

Thanks again.

Most amino acids (protein constituents) can be used to make glucose - they are "glucogenic" amino acids and the metabolic process for this is called gluconeogenesis - it happens in the liver and the kidneys. Some amino acids can be used to make both glucose and fatty acids - they are both "glucogenic" and "ketogenic" , A few can only be used to make fatty acids - they are ketogenic only.

Fatty acids can not be used to make glucose.
