Hi Dr. Newport,
I wonder if they will ever do a fMRI on people using MCT or coconut oil. They recently in a small study of healthy people, showed how fructose blocks satiety in the brain after consuming a fructose beverage, they said this makes a person think they still are hungry. They did fMRI on people that consumed a regular sugar sweetened beverage and they showed the appetite part of the brain receiving stimulation consistent with reduction of appetite. The people reported less appetite also. This is consistent with animal studies and the fructose effects on animal dietary intake.
My point is, that it would be great to show ketones lighting up the brain compared to carbohydrates. It would be interesting to prove how ketones nourish the brains of patients with various forms of dementia as apposed to glucose. While working with dementia patients I observed lots of pacing and nervous behaviors. Maybe there is a physiological panic signal coming from starving neurons, their behaviors may not all be from a conscious disorientation or uncertainty, but more like a person experiencing crashing blood sugar, but of course it doesn't read that way unless they are a diabetic?
So glad your husband is doing well.
Thank you,
Joanne P. RN

This is amazing news. I am caregiver to my mother who has advanced stages of alzheimers so I don't expect too much but already I can tell a difference in her over all response to me. I am 52 and will begin my daily intake asap. I am assuming it is good to begin now. Thanks Dr. Newport
