alt Hacker News> “Is it bad for my liver to be off most of the time?” It's generally not healthy to keep your major organs in the off state. If you never open your eyes, you go blind.
I feel like this is missing the obvious follow up question, “is it bad for my liver to be on most of the time?”

That's a good question!
I'm not sure. My guess would be its perfectly healthy (normal actually) to have 10x levels of ketones constantly than an American eating the SAD (Standard American Diet).
Anyone know of long term datasets that have looked at this in animals?
Continuous Ketone Monitors for humans have _just_ come out (AFAIK), so we should know soon.
