Reply to comment by Educational-Eye5076 in ELI5: what actually is keto, acidosis and keto-acidosis..? by Educational-Eye5076
Don't confuse diet-induced ketosis (which simply results from a very low-carbohydrate diet) with ketoacidosis, which is a serious medical condition. They are totally different things that involve some of the same mechanisms even though they sound similar.
For normal, healthy people, a ketogenic diet (one which induces ketosis) is not harmful. More specifically, it does not cause ketoacidosis.
