Are there any adverse health effects of keto diets due to the fact that ketone bodies get used an energy source for the brain?

ketones are actually the preferred energy source of the brain, so it's all good on that end

In my human nutrition class the teacher was talkin bout this whole ketone breathe side effect shit and I was curious if there were any problems with the body being in a state like that.

Honestly Im starting to suspect my teacher doesn't know any more than what you would read on the back of a box of cheerios.

Well I would say it's next in line, the truely preferred energy source for the brain is glucose and uses ketones when none is available.
