Bonus answer: AcetoneAcetone is a volatile organic compound

(VOC), but it has possible properties as anantiepileptic drug (AED). Acetone, one ofthree ketones elevated by a ketogenic diet,is directly responsible for the diet’s anticon-vulsant effects. Chronic administrationmay enhance its action, but furtherresearch is needed to confirm that the keto-genic diet generates relevant concentra-tions of acetone. Source: Likhodii SS,Burnham WM.
