Neurology

Two studies have appeared in two separate Neurology journals linking diet and cognition. One study links increased body weight with declining mental function, and another claims that a Mediterranean style diet can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

In early 2005 a study was published in the journal of Neurology. The study examined the affect of a severely ketogenic diet on Parkinsons Disease. The results were encouraging, and another recent study reported similar results when treating Lou Gehrig's Disease.
