You have stated without any proof that a low blood sugar can produce ketones in sufficient quantity to have an effect. This is absurd. And even if it did, acetone doesn't have the atomic make-up to do what you want it to do.


All im saying is that ketone production kicks in when you dont get enough carbohydrates in your diet. Which is common knowledge, not theory.

It might trigger breathalyser alerts as some are suggesting. You seem to think otherwise.

obvious that you really are unsure of the science involved


Not really. Its rather easy not to overstate your own certainty if you are not invested in knowing everything. Hence to use of terms as assuming, might, according to and so on.

Ketone production is someone addicted to hard drugs is not a far fetch.
As for the breatalyzer and false alarms I really couldnt tell.

Im sorry if you feel humiliated by the suggestion that you didnt know the meaning of hypoglychemic, but this is a public forum open to anybody and I have no way of knowing if you are a minor, drunk, crazy, trolling, have asperbers syndrome or are just a bit nerdy apart from what i can learn from what you write. So far you come across as a bit obsessive about obscure details, but perhaps that is just me.
