(Click on the Coconut Oil Library for videos & articles on using Coconut Oil for dementias such as Alzheimer’s.)

Dr. Anderson advocates coconut oil for his nursing home’s Alzheimer’s & dementia diet. He explains 3 core benefits:

1. Coconut oil is rich in MCTs, which provide ketones as brain backup fuel. This can help offset the lack of energy from glucose that is common to a brain with dementia.

2. Coconut oil offers a low-carb solution to insulin resistance from diabetes. (Type-2 diabetes is common in seniors with dementia. Alzheimer’s is sometimes called Type-3 diabetes.)

3. Dr. Anderson sees these benefits incidentally improving problems of agitation, behavior and too many pills.

Watch the comments and hear the insights from this panel of doctors.
