Impact upon pH. Both acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid are acidic, and, if levels of these ketone bodies are too high, the pH of the blood drops, resulting in ketoacidosis, a complication of untreated Type I diabetes, and sometimes in end stage Type II (see diabetic ketoacidosis).
When these fats reach your liver, it breaks them down into ketones. The release of ketones can become a cycle. Your body will continue to release energy from fats, and the liver will continue to release ketones. This can cause your blood levels to become too acidic, which can be deadly. Some diets, such as a low-carbohydrate diet, are intended to release fats and create ketones.
