Скачать или смотреть Keto 101 - The History of Ketones

Keto os experts bring you information on the history of ketones and ketosis in episode 4 of Keto 101.

Our mission is to show you that anyone can bio-hack their own body, and we can Prüvit. However, to do this effectively requires knowledge, technology, self experimentation and most importantly, the willingness to question everything you’ve ever believed to be true about nutrition.

What do you know about the history of
ketones dating back to when did we even

0:00:09.420,0:00:11.860
discover that our bodies from making
ketones?

0:00:11.860,0:00:13.679
Ever since humans were around

0:00:13.679,0:00:17.283
ever since animals existed you know
ketones existed.

0:00:17.283,0:00:18.600
If you think of our

0:00:18.600,0:00:23.820
hunter-gatherer past the hunting was not
always good and the gathering was not

0:00:23.820,0:00:27.960
always good and these people would go
into ketosis and then they would kill an

0:00:27.960,0:00:32.340
animal perhaps and there was no
refrigeration so the little group ate

0:00:32.340,0:00:36.329
the whole thing and that would probably
knock them out of ketosis. Now this was

0:00:36.329,0:00:40.110
known for a long time but the mechanism
wasn't known but they knew that

0:00:40.110,0:00:44.280
starvation worked and that was because
of course that starvation was elevating

0:00:44.280,0:00:49.200
the ketones probably most likely
acetoacetate was the ketone having that

0:00:49.200,0:00:50.560
function.

0:00:50.560,0:00:52.860
And around 1921 it was
discovered that if someone ate a

0:00:52.860,0:00:57.600
extremely high fat diet like 80 to 90
percent of the calories as fat and

0:00:57.600,0:01:02.820
greatly reduced the carbohydrate that
that would mimic starvation and they

0:01:02.820,0:01:06.330
discovered shortly after that that it
was actually an elevation of ketones

0:01:06.330,0:01:09.100
that was a big factor in this.

0:01:09.100,0:01:12.720
In the late 1920s Johns Hopkins University

0:01:12.720,0:01:15.047
developed a ketogenic diet.

0:01:15.047,0:01:18.150
There was one researcher who noticed

0:01:18.150,0:01:20.580
when he took a vigorous walk in the
morning for some reason he started

0:01:20.580,0:01:24.540
measuring ketones in his urine they
started calling it post exercise ketosis

0:01:24.540,0:01:28.590
and there were a lot of studies in the
1930s of that and it was shown in the

0:01:28.590,0:01:35.759
1960s then that during starvation like
as you start over a number of days that

0:01:35.759,0:01:40.680
the ketone level would increase from
virtually zero you know before they

0:01:40.680,0:01:45.630
started this fast to get quite high over
a period of about

0:01:45.630,0:01:49.590
10 to 12 days or so and then kind of
level off and as long as you have fat to

0:01:49.590,0:01:54.090
burn you will keep making ketones and
your ketone levels will stay up at that level.

0:01:54.090,0:01:57.060
The very first ester was like drinking rocket fuel.

0:01:57.060,0:01:59.444
It tasted really bad.

0:01:59.444,0:02:01.260
I've never drank

0:02:01.260,0:02:06.390
rocket fuel I mean I worked at NASA but
everything took a sip but I'm this was

0:02:06.390,0:02:11.580
the most awful thing and they were
making it and like white barrel like

0:02:11.580,0:02:17.880
pails. I brought a pharmacologist with me
and works for the department she went

0:02:17.880,0:02:22.770
drinking so I took her bottle with me so
I just seems like rocket fuel up i'm taking it.

0:02:22.770,0:02:25.260
So we're just starting our research now

0:02:25.260,0:02:29.519
so we're just on a research and looking
at the impact of exogenous ketones

0:02:29.519,0:02:33.570
on things like creating low levels of
oxygen and performance deficits that

0:02:33.570,0:02:37.200
happen in that setting. We're looking at
it for cold water divers and being able

0:02:37.200,0:02:38.973
to protect against hypothermia.

0:02:38.973,0:02:41.489
More than 20 years later we actually have an

0:02:41.489,0:02:47.040
exogenous ketone that you know people
can simply take and increase their

0:02:47.040,0:02:49.472
ketone levels and experience the
benefits.

0:02:49.472,0:02:51.209
It's the last three years that

0:02:51.209,0:02:56.280
have blown up the whole industry now a
bunch of young scientists are studying

0:02:56.280,0:03:00.870
research is doubling tripling
quadrupling why, cause honestly the Prüvit

0:03:00.870,0:03:05.519
community is going out there and telling
everybody around the world just how

0:03:05.519,0:03:16.979
powerful this message is and it's
changing the game.
