There was a 60 Minutes report a couple months back the showed that not everyone with Alzheimer's has plaque in their brains and they've done MRI's on 90 year olds who showed plague but no Alzheimer's at all.

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. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : Coconut oil, coconut milk drinks, coconut this and that have been mainstream for the last few years in the US.
