The human brain functions quite nicely on ketones.

Why would you make such a statement without at least doing preliminary
research?

That's why I warn people who come to this newsgroup to take what is said
here with a grain of salt, cross check what is posted here, make sure
what
is being stated is true.

It's entirely incorrect that the human brain needs 120g of carbs a day
just to function. The ONLY time in the last few YEARS I've gotten that
much carb is on my long bike ride days and a few periodic splurges of
carbs. Other than that, I stay well under 120g a day of carbs, and I feel
great. In fact, on low fat, I had the 3pm sleepies, which are completely
gone on low carb. Excessive carbs are very bad for you.
