"'The most striking finding was the sheer breadth & severity of the impact from #airpollution exposure.

The findings suggest ketone esters may rapidly alter brain metabolism and reduce cravings, pointing to potential therapeutic use.
Ketone ester supplementation appears to influence brain energy metabolism and craving responses in alcohol use disorder, highlighting interest in metabolic approaches to psychological and behavioral challenges.
