Summary

This study looks at whether people with early-stage Alzheimer's can safely follow a ketogenic diet for a full year. The diet shifts the body to burn fat for energy, producing ketones that may fuel the brain when glucose use declines. Researchers will measure brain metabolism, thinking skills, and quality of life in 17 participants, comparing the diet to a control diet.
