A new molecule called LaKe has been created by researchers in Denmark that replicates metabolic effects of strenuous exercise and fasting and has potential to be used in the treatment of Parkinson’s and dementia.

Summary:

Researchers have developed a molecule called LaKe that mimics the metabolic effects of strenuous exercise and fasting. This molecule increases lactate and ketone levels in the body, providing similar benefits to running 10 kilometers on an empty stomach, without physical exertion or dietary changes.

This sounds important, thanks for posting it. Would be great if PwP could get the benefits of ketosis without having to do without the fiber, polyphenols and other nutrients found in carbs.
