True, ketones or a high fat diet[1] might or could cause glutathione depletion (at least in rats?) in theory as discussed by Chris Masterjohn PhD but that is why we have bone broth and other foods[2] to make sure that does not happen? We are always going to get some carbohydrates from somewhere; just eliminating the highly processed carbohydrates and refined sugars is key, not even requiring a high end ketogenic diet as you see here on the forum?
As Dr. Ben Lynch phrases it “…glutathione is the MASTER anti-oxidant of all anti-oxidants, without it all attempts at methylation are futile…” in other words any anti-oxidant you put your body simply will not work (can actually do the opposite and do severe damage) if glutathione and selenium are not present or insufficient? Nutrigenomic polymorphism are not destiny if one understands where the mothership is located?
Deficiencies in micronutrients on any kind of diet will cause breaks, rips and tears in the chromosomes! E.g. organic sulfur depleted from the ground soil and replaced by chemical fertilizers which in turn creates sulfur deficiencies in the human body, sulfur is the precursor to glutathione! Another type of deficiency; not enough exogenous cholesterol in the diet contributing to the formation of all cancers to keep the body alive while trying not to kill the host?
