When people with high blood pressure fasted, their urine showed more ketones (a sign of fat burning), but this went back to normal after they started eating again.

Scientific Claim

During medically supervised water-only fasting in adults with stage 1 and 2 hypertension, urine ketone levels increased significantly, returning to baseline after refeeding.

Original Statement

Urinalysis confirmed that during fasting, the concentration of ketones increased while pH decreased, and both values reverted to baseline upon refeeding when glucose metabolism resumed (Table S9).
