A 12-week ketogenic diet improved cognition in Alzheimer's patients
Mutzel cites a New Zealand study showing that a 12-week modified ketogenic diet improved objective cognition scores and quality of life in Alzheimer's patients, with high rates of retention and adherence.
"The high rates of retention, adherence, and safety appear to be achievable in applying a 12-week mod"
