#2Misleading title.
In this study (in mice), a high-fat diet led to diabetes, and diabetes led to Alzheimer's.
It doesn't state that a high-fat diet will lead to Alzheimer's in humans.

#3In mice.
Also, without being able to see the actual paper at this point, there's no way to draw any conclusion from this whatsoever. After all, how do we know what composed this high-fat chow fed to the mice? I've seen other studies where both the control group and the high-fat group were fed chow that contained substantial amounts of sucrose.

#4How does this fit in with the fact that high-fat low carbohydrate diet is used to help treat conditions such as epilepsy? I'm talking about the ketogenic diet here. Seems they omit the high-carb part in "high-fat diets".
Do mice have similar metabolism to humans? I know they're used to study a lot of things before human trials, are our metabolisms similar? If you're low-fat high-carb you go into ketosis. Do mice do that as well?

Also, in some studies a high fat rat diet is 50% carbs and 50% fat

Is that backwards?

Yes, yes it is

#8Click bait title. Actual paper title: Long term high fat diet induces metabolic disorders and aggravates behavioral disorders and cognitive deficits in MAPT P301L transgenic mice.

By mass or calorie?

#10Anyone else see the baked egg and bacon in the avocado and think, wow I want to try that!
I can feel my brain shrinking and waistline expanding just looking at it.
