What seems to be hinted at through this and other research out in the past 12 month: Reduce fat intake. It's not the cause, but the carrier of toxins across the blood-brain carrier. Reducing fat would reduce the rate of toxin build up. It's not a cure, nor does it tackle the genetic component, but way to prolong lifestyle.

Bad news for the Keto dieters.

  I don't think that fits. Someone following a strict keto or low-carb diet is typically going to have healthier levels of fat in their blood e.g. lower cholesterol. Add to that a greatly reduced risk of diabetes and if these findings prove true it may end up being another reason to adopt such a diet.

  Thats opposite to the advice of Dale Bredesen who wrote "The End of Alzheimers" (excellent book).

Not sure what evidence you've been looking at; from what I've read the opposite is true: Keto diet can be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jK6-r1zWOI0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jK6-r1zWOI0

Edit: I didn't know who the youtube video you linked is, but a cursory google bring up that he is accused of quackery. Also, the source on that video is... his own website hosting his own work. Not exactly peer review is it?

    Your first link seems to be in support of a keto diet, your second link is a correlational study, and your third link is a mouse study. You can check my other comment above for a bunch of other sources/studies on keto diets reversing Alzheimer's symptoms if you'd like.
