I thought I would post this to try and did up the collective SB knowledge on this subject. In the October issue of Outside Magazine there was a brief mention of this in an article called "Always be Moving" by Christopher Keyes. It was a short mention of Dr. Dom D'agostino, who apparently has a grant from the office of Naval Research. The quick mention includes this: "D'Augustino's team has produced encouraging results in testing ketone esters, an exogenous form that you can drink or eat to boost ketone bodies with or without a ketogenic diet."
An admittedly quick internet search didn't turn up too much, but apparently the anti convulsive effects of a ketogenic diet have been known since the 1920's. I am admittedly not highly plugged into the cutting edge of technical diving knowledge, but I was surprised to not find anything on scubaboard about this subject. Anyone want to share what they know?
