WOW! What a fascinating and uplifting study. Hopefully, further research will ultimately lead to effective treatments and preventive measures in humans for this devastating disease. Thank you Nick for breaking down the science and explaining the mechanisms in these complicated papers in a manner all of us can understand. Please keep up the great work.

Ketosis seems to be the only effective way to manage most neurological conditions and we’ve known this for a long time but not the mechanism of action. Research like this that explains how it works which will be helpful to get skeptical scientists and lay people to endorse it. These findings are huge because what we are doing for Alzheimer’s disease now is not only unhelpful, it may be hurting people and there is nothing for prevention. This could bring hope. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and explaining it in an easy to understand way.
