Answer 2

The condition is called ketoacidosis, which occurs when the body doesn't have enough insulin to use glucose for energy and starts breaking down fat instead. This process leads to the production of ketones, including acetone, which can accumulate in the blood. In anorexic individuals, low food intake and malnutrition can trigger ketoacidosis due to reduced glucose availability.
