The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low carb, high fat diet that offers many health benefits.
In fact, many studies show that this type of diet can help you lose weight and improve your health (1Trusted Source).
Ketogenic diets may even have benefits against Diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease
Link is in my bio, hope it helps you find the perfect meal plan and understanding of Keto!

Why keto sugars are sweet and aldo sugars are tasteless?
Keto sugars, or ketoses, contain a ketone group that influences their sweetness by enhancing the interaction with taste receptors on the tongue, making them taste sweet. In contrast, aldo sugars, or aldoses, have an aldehyde group that does not engage these receptors as effectively, resulting in a tasteless or less sweet profile. Additionally, the molecular structure and functional groups of these sugars play a crucial role in their sweetness perception. This fundamental difference in chemical structure is why keto sugars are typically sweeter than aldo sugars.
In transamination the amino group of an amino acid is?
transferred to a keto acid
Are amino acids the building block of sugar?
No, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not sugar. Sugars are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and are a type of carbohydrate. Both amino acids and sugars are essential components of biological molecules and play important roles in the body.
Why enol form of acetylacetone more stable than keto form?
The enol form of acetylacetone is more stable than the keto form due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which stabilizes the enol by forming a five-membered ring. Additionally, the enol form can delocalize its electrons across the double bond and the adjacent carbonyl, leading to resonance stabilization. This combination of hydrogen bonding and resonance makes the enol more thermodynamically favorable than the keto form, despite the keto form typically being more common.
Do sugars have nitrogen?
No. Sugars are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but not nitrogen.

Differentiate between aldo and keto sugars with example?
sugars containing aldehydes as the functional group are termed as aldoses eg.glucose,sucrose sugars containing ketones as the functional group are termed as ketoses eg.fructose
Why one is called aldo ring and the other is termed the keto ring?
Aldo rings contain an aldehyde functional group, while keto rings contain a ketone functional group. The nomenclature stems from the specific carbonyl group present in the ring structure. Aldo rings are named after the aldehyde functional group, and keto rings are named after the ketone functional group.
IS Acetic acid a carbohydrate?
Yes, it is a 3-carbon carbohydrate. Carbohydate = hydrocarbons with keto/ aldo functional group. Acetone contains a keto group and is composed of hydrogens and carbons
How do hexoses affect alkaline copper complex ions?
Sugars containing the aldo or the keto group are capable of reducing copper in alkaline solutions (Fehling's solution) to produce the brick-red colouration of cuprous ions. These sugars are called reducing sugars and the reaction, although not specific for reducing sugars, has use for both qualitative and quantitative determinations.
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
Why seliwanoff's test is positive only for keto sugars?
Seliwanoff's test is positive only for keto sugars because they contain a ketone group in their structure that reacts with the reagents in the test to form a pink color. Aldose sugars do not contain this ketone group and therefore do not yield a positive result in the Seliwanoff's test.
What has the author Aldo Greco written?
Aldo Greco has written: 'Aldo Greco'
How do you say is this aldo is spanish?
Es este Aldo? (Supposing 'Aldo' to be a name)
Is keto-friendly milk available and if so, what milk is keto?
Yes, keto-friendly milk is available. Unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, and macadamia nut milk are good options for those following a keto diet as they are low in carbohydrates and sugar.
