going back some of the ketone data you know why why does ketone enhance memory and some in some models certainly even going back Oh God ten years you see a lot of anecdote of people in early stage dementia who when given even MCT oil would see transient improvements in cognition now Richard Veatch did some of the most elegant work on this Richard Veatch by the way is the guy who along with Kieran Clark created the ketone ester that T Delta s licenses to human and you know they showed I think quite convincingly in this animal model that the bhp was basically bypassing pyruvate dehydrogenase and so all of a sudden you know you think about the energy deficit that a neuron would experience if you have insulin resistance at PD H so if you know glucose is going to pyruvate and pyruvate can't get in because PD H is resistant giving BHB would just bypass it you go straight into the krebs cycle you make all the ATP you want
