No worries. The Dudes actually prefer putting new information in old threads over starting a new thread all the time. That way all the information is in one place.
An excellent post, by the way. I tend to avoid keto substitutes, but your hints seem most helpful.
And you probably realise that the plaques are an indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, not the cause of it. The real cause is a problem with the glucose metabolic pathway in brain cells, which leaves the brain literally starving. You may be familiar with the characterisations of Alzheimer’s disease as “insulin-resistance of the brain” and “Type III diabetes.” A ketogenic diet helps with this, because ketone bodies make excellent alternative fuels, being metabolised by a different pathway.
