There is some confusion about the differences between ketosis and ketacidosis, and these differences should be clarified. Ketacidosis is a very harmful blood disorder, while whole ketosis is simply a healthy lifestyle choice. Ketacidosis can be extremely harmful to the human body and can lead to many ailments including death. Ketosis is a way of watching what foods are being put into the body. By eliminating many unhealthy things from one’s diet and only strictly conforming to a ketosis diet, people can reap the benefits of a healthy life and well being.
