Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

Granted, in a high insulin and blood sugar environment, more LDL would lead to more oxidized LDL, which would be bad.

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

It certainly is a tidy theory which would explain why E3s handle saturated fats so much better than E4s. Define " better ." If LDL is protective against all-cause mortality, I would argue that higher is better. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29895699 Neither LDL-C nor TGs were associ...

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

It’s the ratio of animal food versus plant food. For instance, I eat all animal-sourced food for breakfast and lunch. But, dinner will include a salad sometimes, with the rest of it being animal-based. So, I’m probably eating a 90:10 animal:plant diet. I don’t worry about calories. I don’t worry abo...

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

I would agree that even the leanest person still has a small amount of body fat. I would think that 10% would be the lowest healthy amount.

Re: Zero carb diet will help prevent Alzheimer’s

Blue Zones do not eat less meat.
