High Protein Diet May Shrink The Brain
A surprise discovery in an Alzheimer’s disease study found that a high protein, low carbohydrate diet may lead to a smaller brain with a less developed hippocampus.
Researchers compared the following diets;
a regular diet
a high fat/low carbohydrate custom diet
a high protein/low carb diet
a high carbohydrate/low fat diet
Looking for triggers in brain plaque formation associated with Alzheimer’s, the researchers made the unexpected discovery that compared to the other three diets the brains of mice fed a high protein/low carb diet had brains that weighed 5% less, with the hippocampus also less developed.
Researchers will now undertake further studies on mice not engineered to develop Alzheimers disease to test the result.
