I was just reading my coconut information newsletter, and one of the articles is about the use of coconut oil in treating altsheimers , and the amazing effects they have had using coconut.
The article also went into the explanation that altsheimers is actually a type of diabetes of the brain, and it happens when the brain can't process insulin correctly anymore.
Then, the brain is starved for fuel, and cannot work properly. However, coconut oil contains ketones, which can also be processed by the brain as fuel, thus helping slow down the progress of the disease.
Here is an excerpt from the article :
Alzheimer’s doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s a long, slow process that takes at least 10 or 20 years to develop before symptoms start to show. Recent research has revealed that Alzheimer’s is a form of diabetes caused by insulin resistance in the brain. It is now referred to as type 3 diabetes. Insulin resistance prevents brain cells from accepting glucose, their primary fuel. Without it, the brain cells eventually die. But there is an alternative fuel -- ketones, which brain cells easily accept. Ketones are metabolized in the liver after eating medium chain triglycerides, found in coconut oil. Dr. Newport added coconut oil to Steve’s diet. He showed almost immediate improvement. Over the course of a year Steve Newport has gone from being on the verge of sever Alzheimer’s to now being diagnosed as a mild case and has regained much of the cognitive skills and memory he had once lost.

The author is likely talking about fat-laden French fries, cheeseburgers, milkshakes and Twinkies, etc.
