The issue of Alzheimer's and diet is of great interest to me because as an APO E4/E4, I am genetically in the highest risk group for Alzheimer's. What I read most often is that E4/E4 people have problems metabolizing fats and should therefore eat a low-fat, high-carb diet, with an emphasis on avoiding saturated fats. But, coconut oil is almost entirely saturated fat, and it is beneficial for people with Alzheimer's. And in my case, I have metabolic issues with carbs, not fats. To me, this all points to metabolic individuality and the futility of making one-size-fits-all dietary recommendations. With Alzheimer's sometimes described as diabetes of the brain, my approach to this is a diet that minimizes the huge spikes in blood sugar and insulin to which I'm prone.
