Here's the actual study, I'm always skeptical of University PR reports on studies:

"Together, our results suggest that brain network destabilization may reflect early signs of hypometabolism, associated with dementia. Dietary interventions resulting in ketone utilization increase available energy and thus may show potential in protecting the aging brain."

This isn’t new. Doctors have seen a link between sugar (carbs) and Dementia / Alzheimer’s

I read some time ago about the Keto diet showing good results even in Alzheimer/dementia cases. Keto is not the same as low carb but it's close enough. Our molecular biology and internal chemical reactions are still areas of research in early phases. Just on a different topic, but in the same direction - last 10 years research discovered that immunity boosting has much better results in certain types of cancer than all the other non-surgery treatments (chemical or radiation).

Sugar, not fat is the killer. Incredible how for decades bad research and the likes of Ancel Keys and Phil Sokolof put the health of millions at risk.

Healthy diets (low carb, moderate fat/protein/fiber) don't generate outsized profits for the agriculture and processed food industry.
