Does the breakdown of fat reserves in the human body result in the production of toxins?

0

The breakdown of fats in the human body does not really produce toxins. Ketones, the product of fat breakdown, is used when glucose is on low supply and is an alternative energy source. But when Ketones are used as a primary energy source like in the case of Diabetes wherein glucose cannot enter the cells and fat is broken down to supply the demand for energy that’s when it becomes bad. Because it lowers the blood PH and Ketoacidosis occurs.
