A molecule found in the diet could play a significant role in slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease. A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of California, Davis, reveals that a ketogenic diet can significantly delay the early stages of Alzheimer’s-related memory loss in m

This study shows that a ketogenic diet slows early Alzheimer’s memory loss in mice, in which the molecule beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), plays an important role thus offering hope for its application in human ageing and cognitive health.
