Yes, the brain needs fat to function (there's also a lot of interesting research on coconut oil and dementia)..... so why are they always dishing out these statins and advising people to cut out all the fat in their diet? I'm sure my mum was fine before she started taking all these drugs, cut out butter and oil.... and also stopped eating oily fish, broccoli and offal because she was on warfarin.
Yes, one day!! It’s not really a question of being cynical Jimbo. For me, these reports are like an intense form of Chinese water torture.Hello LadyA
It is easy to be cynical about these new discoveries,
but one day the breakthrough will come.
The New Scientist posted an article in their issue of 28 November spelling out how a high-fat diet used to control epilepsy affects the brain and stating that it could be used for the control of Alzheimer's. Could the recent increase in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's possibly be due to the low fat diet that many people have been encouraged to follow in recent years?
