The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
the salt does not produce that effect at all so for a number of different reasons I think uh it's not the rate of rise of ketones in the bloodstream seem to be the predictor of if you're going to release insulin for one thing and then there's something about the electrolytes too that maybe delays gastric absorption and with the salts you're just not getting that elevation of ketones that's as high and as rapid as you would get with a ketoneester.

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

uh have an advantage over the ketone esters. They also have the advantage because the mineral delays gastric absorption. So when you take a dose of a ketone salt it does not cause an insulin effect. If you drink a ketone estester or a large dose of 13b butane dial and I've done this before and you do an insulin measurement, you know, an hour after that's you're going to see your insulin levels increase.
