Dr. Lee "The next paper is "An Experimental Ketogenic Diet for Alzheimer Disease Was Nutritionally Dense and Rich in Vegetables and Avocado" (Aljobaily et al., 2022)."

Zoe "I love avocado too. When I make sandwich bento for lunch—I'm vegetarian—I use it often."

Dr. Lee "Yes. Avocado is known for its lipid content, so people on plant-based keto reach for it readily. This study examines whether a ketogenic diet incorporating vegetables and avocado is nutritionally adequate for older adults with Alzheimer's disease. The diet included MCT oil, butter, non-starchy vegetables, olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds. Excluded were potatoes, grains, red meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages. In terms of calories, fat was about 70%, protein 20%, and carbohydrate under 10%."
