I’ve been reviewing his presentations for some time now, and so far I have not seen him properly address the problem of neurological disorders which accumulate going into elderly ages due to insufficient supplies of saturated fats in the diet. Diets rich in saturated fats in the absence of abnormal levels of carbohydrates are known to protect against and sometimes even reverse neurological disorders such as epilepsy, ADD, autism, dementia, Altzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, memory loss, Multiple Sclerosis, and much more. The etiology of nutritional ketosis and how it treats these diseases is well identified and in some cases has been part of standard medical practices for more than one or more centuries. I’m not seeing a credible etiology in what John McDougall MD presents.

On the flip side, there have been studies that indicate that nicotine may slow Alzheimers/dementia.

There's probably a study out there to back up and refute 98% of all diet-related issues - the trick is figuring out which, if any, are correct or if they may not be across-the-bard correct, but be valid for specific physiologies.

I have always wondered about the negative association between Parkinsons and apparently other neurological diseases and smoking cigarettes. Maybe the diseases are caused by parasites that are killed by the nicotine at some point in life.
