Oxford University
researchers have discovered that coconut oil may help people with
Alzheimer's regain their memory.
Researchers
say coconut oil contains unique fats known as ketones, which are
thought to nourish the brain.
The
results are only temporary, but researchers say the short term effects
for dementia patients are astounding.
Dr
Peter Clifton, a nutritional scientist, says Alzheimer's sufferers may
'remember who they are, who you are, and actually hold a normal
conversation'.
'Suddenly
you would get the old person you know back again, even if it is only
temporary'.
The
researchers say just thirty grams of the oil a day can be beneficial.
