I've been doing some research, just out of curiosity, about ketones in the urine. Every article that I have read says it is a life threatening problem and that you shouldn't stay in ketoacidosis long because it can cause damage to body cells, kidneys, etc.

Can anybody here alleviate my fears? Am I just not understanding things correctly in Atkins book and should I be afraid of ketones?

Any help would be appreciated.
