“The MIND diet, brain transcriptomic alterations, and dementia.”

Jun Li, et al. – Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

“Therapeutic potential of a modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet in reversing the peripheral lipid signature of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Bryan Neth, et al. – Mayo Clinic, Duke University.

This pair of studies explore the impacts of Mediterranean-inspired dietary interventions on AD risk factors.

Li et al studied the transcriptional effects of following the MIND diet, adherence to which is negatively associated with dementia risk.

Meanwhile, Neth et al found that following a modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet was inversely associated with lipid markers linked to AD, suggesting that this dietary regime could help curb AD development and/or progression.
