went onto a paleo diet I also increased my intake of both. My partner was 
reporting to me that I had quite bad breath in the morning and at times 
throughout the day (not really something a gal likes to hear but I'd rather 
know than not know). I could sense a smell that was like acetone. 

Hi,

My first thought was blood sugar. Acetone-breath is one of the symptoms of 
diabetes. Since you reported it when you increased your fruit (fructose), it 
might be something to check. 

But it seems to me that if you've cut out grains and such, your sugars should 
still be lower. Before I posted this, though, I did a little checking, and found 
out that ketosis can be caused by other things, like illness. 

Anyway, it's something to think about.
