In my many years of researching and following journals about concussion and brain injury, I have never read anything about reducing/restricting fats. Quite the opposite.

Where did you read to reduce fats?

Cholesterol drugs are also contra-indicated since they reduce the cholesterol than is important to brain function and healing.

Low cholesterol and dementia are found to be related.

Many of our youth are being improperly deprived of fats during periods of neurological need to the detriment of their brain development. At least the formula manufacturers are focusing on DHA and EPA.

We actually selectively add fats to our diet for its health benefits. Olive oil and coconut oil plus non-homogenized whole milk are our fats of choice.
