They discuss the suggested protocol, which still includes grains and almost no red meat, only fatty fish and chicken. It recommends avoiding saturated fat. The protocol is erratic and contradicts itself. (8:30) Epidemiological studies are not always accurate. Dr. Mary Newport has been on the show and specifically studies cognitive decline. (16:00) Studies demonstrate that saturated fats from coconut oil (MCT oil) and a ketogenic diet can slow cognitive decline and even reduce symptoms. (17:00) Here are links to some of Dr. Mary Newport's books:  The Coconut Oil and Low-Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Other Diseases: A Guide to Using Diet and a High-Energy Food to Protect and Nourish the Brain   Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure (3rd Edition): The Story of Ketones   Clearly Keto: For Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention The Complete Book of Ketones: A Practical Guide to Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Supplements The Mediterranean Diet is based on inaccurate and manipulated information. (19:00) The focus should not be on cutting out saturated fat, but rather on cutting out processed foods. (21:00) How good is a vegan chocolate cake? (24:00) A New York Times journalist states her reason for going vegan. After looking the author up, she is an environmental advocate; she is vegan based on her environmental beliefs, not likely because she had a good vegan chocolate cake. Just be authentic and accurate! Everyone can agree that everyone should eat clean, whole foods. Period.
