If this is true, the popular Keto diet, with its emphasis on high protein, fat and red meat might increase the risk of catching Alzheimer’s.
Eh,it’s out of SanFagSicko and Hawaii.
They’re just pushing an agenda like Ansel Keys was.
Exactly, but I always take such findings with a grain of salt.
For example, the authors conclude ‘meat consumption’ as follows:
“In general, studies of dietary patterns and risk of AD can show the general association of large food factor categories on risk but cannot apportion the risk according to food factor category. Also, the fact that the DASH, MedDi, and MIND dietary patterns permit some meat consumption means that meat’s role cannot be carefully assessed.”
My primary critique of the study’s authors is their stubborn adherence to ‘diets’, whereas a majority of the population subjects themselves to emotional dietary patterns which do NOT follow said ‘diets’.
That stated, most who follow keto do so not of an intellectual foundation, but emotional. Keto is not a lifestyle, but a regimen having been abused & twisted by promoters into a lifestyle option despite all the evidence to the contrary.
My conclusion is that the study authors have an inherent bias against meat, but it does little to discredit their findings against ‘big food’ (i.e., processed foods).
