JL, GREAT information!

In the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle, there was mention that humans can use proteins or fats, alternatively to glucose, to produce energy. This seems VERY important to me.

Thanks, JL.

I KNOW unbelievable. what a resource i'm in the middle of the krebs vid right now. he goes a little overboard for me on hammering the 'this happens two times, one for each pyruvate' I GET IT jeez lol

The Dr. Oz Show episode with Dr. Joe Mercola was rerun today. He speaks about the use of ketone bodies in the brain as an alternative (to glucose) fuel:

Just the same explanation as the Khan Academy, JL. It appears that this information is newly accepted by the medical community. Does that mean we are on the cutting edge???

We humans CAN survive just fine on a diet without carbohydrates, starches and sugars, that convert to glucose.
