I don't practice keto. I eat a lot of keto foods, but I do a low carb (not no carb) super hi protein/PUFA foods.

A ketogenic diet (KD), which is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, may have potential benefits for cognitive function in individuals with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The brain, which typically relies on glucose for energy, can also utilize ketone bodies, produced during ketosis, as an alternative fuel source. This is particularly relevant in Alzheimer's, where glucose metabolism is often impaired. By providing ketones, a KD may help improve cognitive function and potentially slow down the progression of dementia.

Right @LotusBud

 

[Jack]

Yes, Lotus, I'm aware of that idea. It's not a theory though, just an idea.

 

[Lily]

Type 3, an unproven concept, works exactly like how glucose impacts the body...

 

[Jack]

blablabla

 

[Jack]

Has not been "proven" yet. The blood brain barrier is still relatively unknown.

 

[Jack]

type 3 diabetes has been proven. Plaque in the brain causes dementia.

 

[Jack]

Plaque gets in the brain via sugar, which is delivered by carbs

 

[Jack]

The pathways have been shown.

 

[Jack]

again, we're talking about too much, delivered by the wrong sources.

 

[Jack]

complex carbs are handled by the body differently than sugar carbs.

 

[Jack]

Proven.

 

[Jack]

Low GI is what should be the goal as far as carbs go.

 

[LotusBud]

But the plaque in the brain is from sugar, not fat, @Jack

 

[Jack]

I know

 

[Jack]

its not fatty deposits like atherosclerosis. it's sugar plaque

 

[LotusBud]

OK. Up there, ^^^^^^ you said it was from fat.

 

[Jack]

and sugar carbs and complex carbs are two different things.

Yes, listen to Jack who makes up his own stats bahahahahaa Breast cancer is being caused by Canadian wildfires LOL

 

[X]

Fucking hilarious!!!

 

[Jack]

what do you think sugar turns into when it's not used?

 

[Jack]

Fat.

 

[X]

Your fingers must’ve lot of sugar

Anyway, I had a colleague who had early onset dementia. She was a vegetarian and at a LOT of simple carbs. I mean A LOT. It's my personal belief that she got the dementia from all the pasta, rice, and bread that she consumed.

 

[Jack]

Those are not complex carbs. They are sugar carbs.

 

[Jack]

we're talking about the same thing lotus.
