Alzheimer's Study Finds that High Protein Diet Shrinks the Brain
Fortunately enough, I'm using a medium gainer!
"Scientists studying Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mice found that a high protein diet led them to develop smaller brains.
The research team from the US, Canada and the UK were focusing on triggers for brain plaque formation and monitored the effects of four different food regimes on rodents which were genetically modified to develop a severe form of early-onset Alzheimer's.
Unexpectedly, mice fed the high protein/low carb diet were found to have brains five per cent lighter than the others.
Regions of their hippocampus, a major component of the brain, were less developed than in their counterparts.
The researchers will investigate the tentative theory that a high protein diet may leave neurones more vulnerable to AD plaque. "
