omega-6 fats fall under the "bad fat" category; they are somewhat pro-inflammatory, and there is evidence that higher consumption of these fats is related to brain disorders. Unfortunately,

Your brain… weighs three pounds and has one hundred thousand miles of blood vessels. contains more connections than there are stars in the Milky Way. is the fattest organ in your body. could be suffering this very minute without your having a clue.

people whose blood sugar is on the high end of the "normal range" have a much greater risk for brain shrinkage.12 This ties directly into the story of type 3 diabetes.

some experts believe our increased consumption of brain-healthy omega-3 fatty acids was responsible for the threefold increase in the size of the human brain). The

Coconut oil, from which we derive MCTs, is a rich source of an important precursor molecule for beta-hydroxybutyrate and is a helpful approach to treating Alzheimer's disease.24

ketogenic diet has also been shown to reduce amyloid in the brain,25 and it increases glutathione, the body's natural brain-protective antioxidant, in the hippocampus.26 What's more, it stimulates the growth of mitochondria and thus increases metabolic efficiency.27

The neurons in the gut are so innumerable that scientist are now calling the totality of them "the second brain"... In fact, recent research is revaling that our second brain may not be second at all. It can act independently from the main brain and control many functions without the brain's input or help.

But a caveat: Once free radicals damage the LDL molecule, it's rendered much less capable of delivering cholesterol to the brain. In addition to oxidation destroying the LDL's function, sugar can also render it dysfunctional by binding to it and accelerating oxidation. And when that happens, LDL is no longer able to enter the astrocyte, a cell charged with nourishing neurons. In
