Original Note:
The human liver is capable of making glucose using non-carbohydrate precursors (e.g. fat & protein components) via gluconeogenesis - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30733709/ That being said, some research has shown that during a ketogenic diet, ketones are only able to satisfy 70% of the human brain's energy needs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6061736/
