"Feasibility and Efficacy Data from a Ketogenic Diet Intervention in Alzheimer's Disease" (Brandt et al., 2019)
Dr. Lee "Now the third study: "Feasibility and Efficacy Data from a Ketogenic Diet Intervention in Alzheimer's Disease" (Brandt et al., 2019). Ten participants followed a ketogenic diet for one month and then returned to a standard diet to track the changes. Cognitive function was measured using the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scaleβcognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog). As Figure 6-6 shows, cognitive scores improved up to three months. After three months, when participants stopped the ketogenic diet, scores fell againβevidence that the cognitive gains over those three months were driven by the diet."
Grace "Doctor, I'm 82 now. I've been vegetarian since childhood, so I've always felt confident about my health. A few years ago I fractured a bone and went to the hospital, and they said my bone age was mid-thirties. But dementia has always been a worry. Hearing that not just plant-based eating but also a ketogenic diet helps prevent dementia gives me even more peace of mind."
Dr. Lee "Grace, I know you have lived a vegetarian life faithfully, grounded in your faith. A truly admirable life. I'm sure your health is closely tied to your plant-based eating."
