Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low fat diets deficient in essential fatty acids can lead to poor wound healing and alopecia (hair loss) because essential fatty acids are crucial for maintaining healthy skin and hair. Dental caries are more directly related to oral hygiene and sugar intake, while ketone bodies are produced during fat metabolism, typically in the context of low carbohydrate intake, not specifically due to a deficiency in essential fatty acids.
