In this Low Carb All-Stars presentation, Dr Paul Mason discusses that the risk of dementia can be significantly reduced with attention to nutrition. Furthermore, symptoms of dementia can be also be improved in those already suffering dementia. Surprising findings include the link between brain size and obesity, how the brains of those with dementia are insulin resistant and cannot effectively use glucose and how ketones can circumvent this issues. Data on the true risk of the APOE4 gene is also presented, with the conclusion that lifestyle is more important than genetics. Professor Peter Brukner and Dr Paul Mason provide commentary on future directions for research at the conclusion of the lecture.
