The oil seemed to \u201clift <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">the fog\u201d Dr Mary Newport, said.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It was aired on Pat Robertson\u2019s Christian Broadcast Network, and the video has been viewed <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">by over five million people.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">After about two years later Steve had suffered a stroke and Dr Mary went silent. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Dr. Newport\u2019s recent updates includes few references to coconut oil benefitting people with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease, but mainly refers to \u201cfood based interventions\u201d as a relief for those <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">sufferers.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are called MCTs (medium chain triglycerides). Being <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">shorter chains compared to longer chains of fatty acids in other oils like olive oil or vegetable <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">oils, they are broken down in the liver totally and used for energy. When large amount of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">these MCTs are broken down in the liver , the excess may turn into ketones.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">MCTs formed by fatty acids with a length of 6-12 carbon atoms constitute about two thirds of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">coconut oil.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This is the advantage that MCTs have over longer chain fatty acids, that the excess can be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">stored in the liver as ketone bodies.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Now how does ketones produced in your liver from MCTs restore brain function in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Hippocampus is the part of the brain that is vital for memory, and in AD it starts to shrink.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Brain runs on ketones and glucose, like your car runs on petrol, and the brain has a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">mechanism to switch from glucose to ketones when required. This mechanism is efficient in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">young adults, but in the elderly people it is weak and may not work.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It is believed that brain energy deficit precedes cognitive decline in conditions of increased <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">risk for Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Insulin appears to play a key role in AD. When your body does not produce enough insulin to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">convert glucose into energy, this in turn decreases the amount of oxygen the fuel- getting into <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">the brain making it harder for the brain cells to communicate with each other, and as a result, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">memories gradually slip away. The body then produces ketones to provide a source of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">energy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It is difficult to improve on the oxygen usage by the brain cells once it has declined in older <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">people., even with exercise.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Ketones seem to be the backup fluid for energy to the brain cells. And someone with AD can <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">use ketones to provide energy to the brain cells and restore normal functions.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As older people may not be able to exercise, they can be given a ketone cocktail to drink, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">made from MCT in one\u2019s kitchen from scraped coconut meat.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Moderate exercise seems to help get more ketones into the brain. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">All this is wonderful in theory, but the fact remains that coconut oil consumption regularly <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">has no effect to improve one having Alzheimer\u2019s disease. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The countries with the highest volumes of coconut oil consumption in 2018 were the U.S.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">(507K tonnes), Indonesia (443K tonnes) and India (385K tonnes), with a combined 38% <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">share of global consumption. The Philippines, Germany, the Netherlands, Viet Nam, China, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Malaysia, Mexico and South Korea lagged somewhat behind, together accounting for a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">further 36%.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In Sri Lanka, coconut production during the last three decades has averaged. 2,365 million <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">nuts per annum, of which about 55 per cent is domestically consumed directly in their staple <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">foods.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The consumption of coconut oil is high in the US as mentioned before, and Alzheimer\u2019s is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">the sixth leading cause of death.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In terms of mortality rates, an estimated 700,000 people will die each year alone from <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer\u2019s. It is true that deaths from other major causes have decreased, however, deaths <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">from Alzheimer\u2019s have significantly increased. Between the years of 2000 and 2013, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">mortality rates increased by 71 percent.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia among people aged 60 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">years and older. The prevalence of AD ranges from 6.44% in south India, 3.92% in Sri Lanka <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">for the populations above 65 years, being coconut eating nations. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Among developed countries, Japan has the lowest prevalence of both dementia in general and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in particular. Coconut is not popular in Japanese cuisines.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So, epidemiological studies reveal that Alzheimer\u2019s disease is high in coconut producing and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">consuming countries, and is difficult to co-relate that coconut oil or the meat, lowers the risk <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">of AD.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The progression of Alzheimer\u2019s is often not a steady downward cycle. It usually includes <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">periods of stability and even improvement\u2014which can muddy possible therapeutic benefits. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Insulin resistance promotes brain pathology and promotes the development of Alzheimer\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer\u2019s disease may be considered as the Diabetes of the brain. Insulin receptors don\u2019t<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">seem to be responding to insulin in the brain <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">New research today says that insulin, the hormone used to treat diabetes, might someday be <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">useful for treating Alzheimer&#8217;s disease<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Alzheimer&#8217;s treatments: What&#8217;s on the horizon? <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Despite many promising leads, new treatments for Alzheimer&#8217;s are slow to emerge. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Several years ago, researchers learned that beta-amyloid interacts with another protein called <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Fyn. When combined with beta-amyloid, Fyn is over-activated, which triggers a destruction <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">of connections between nerve cells (synapses) in the brain. Studies are currently in progress <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">for drugs that inhibit the Fyn protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>Disclaimer:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>The information contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and whilst the author will endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, eLanka makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the eLanka website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained in this article for any purpose.
