The breakdown products of the process, called ketones, can accumulate in your blood and eventually in your urine. One type of ketone, called acetone, has a telltale âfruityâ smell; if youâre making ketones, youâll likely have fruity-smelling breath.

Ketone bodies are synthesized by the liver whenever fatty acid levels are high in the blood.
