My favourite research is that quality nutrition is what you need, however, this means a whole food, plant based diet. What that means is no animal fats or refined animal fats as these have been blocking arteries since the 1950s, or whenever it was that Ancel Keys did his landmark studies that made saturated fats bad.

I am okay with that.

The keto diet community believe that Ancel Keys was not right and that sugar is the enemy that causes all of the problems, probably including blocked brain arteries. The whole food, plant based diet does not include refined sugar, so, hedge your bets by staying off the animal fats and added sugar. By staying off the sugar, that eliminates processed foods that invariably have refined fats and oils such as palm oil and much else that gets saturated in processing.
