acetone breath and low-carb diets
Acetone breath refers to a distinctive fruity or sweet odor in the breath caused by increased levels of acetone, a ketone body, due to the body breaking down fat for energy. This happens particularly in low-carb diets, where the body shifts from using carbohydrates to fats as its main energy source, leading to increased ketone production.
