Diet-related conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are known to be risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease.
In a study from VA Puget Sound Health Care System, the authors placed 20 healthy adults and 29 adults with mild cognitive impairment on either a high- or low-fat diet for a month to see if the diets could affect biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease.
As expected, the high fat diet increased blood cholesterol and insulin levels in both groups. But the change in other biomarkers depended on whether the participants were healthy or if they had cognitive problems.
The authors found that in healthy individuals, a high-fat diet increased the level of biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Somewhat surprisingly, the same effect was seen in people with cognitive problems when they ate a low-fat diet.
So what does this mean? The authors believe that the data suggests that dietary interventions may not be as effective in later stages of cognitive impairment as they may be for prevention of such problems in the first place. Continue to read: wisradio.com

L-carnitine shows blood sugar benefits
Daily supplements of L-carnitine may improve how the body handles glucose, and prevent spikes in blood sugar levels, suggests a new study from Scotland with implications for diabetics. Read more: nutraingredients-usa.com
