I agree Nik-key! We should all take these matters with a grain of salt. Based on your post, I have a feeling that you really don't know much about the health benefits of coconut oil, let alone it's wonderful effect on Alzheimer's.

One explanation is because coconut oil's unique fatty acid content (medium chain fatty acids - MCFA) can feed your cells, including brain cells of course, even without the aid of insulin. Obviously, cells properly fed won't starve to death, enabling Alzheimer's disease sufferers, for one, to live normal lives.

There's so much more coconut oil can do.
