If the diet includes less than 130 grams of carbohydrates, the liver increases its synthesis of molecules called ketone bodies, and these supply the necessary fuel for the brain and central nervous system. If the diet includes no carbohydrates at all, ketone bodies supply three-quarters of the energy to the brain. The rest comes from glucose synthesized from the amino acids in protein, either from the diet or from the breakdown of muscle, and from a compound called glycerol that is released when triglycerides in the fat tissue are broken down into their component fatty acids. In these cases, the body is technically in a state called ketosis, and the diet is often referred to as a ketogenic diet.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Gary Taubes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/gary-taubes/though-glucose-is-a-primary-fuel-for-the-brain-it-is-not-however-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0e5/gary-taubes-11659_food_though-glucose-is-a-primary-fuel-for-the_2516247.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0e5/gary-taubes-11659_food_though-glucose-is-a-primary-fuel-for-the_2516247.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0e5/gary-taubes-11659_food_though-glucose-is-a-primary-fuel-for-the_2516247.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Though glucose is a primary fuel for the brain, it is not, however, the only fuel, and dietary carbohydrates…” — Gary Taubes", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/called-ketosis/gary-taubes/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/called-ketosis/gary-taubes/", "name": "Called Ketosis Quotes by Gary Taubes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/called-ketosis/gary-taubes/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/0e5/gary-taubes-11659_food_though-glucose-is-a-primary-fuel-for-the_2516247.png" }, "description": "1 Called Ketosis quotes by Gary Taubes.
