Don't freak out. This is more repetition of a poor understanding of cholesterol that has become deeply mired in conventional wisdom. If anything, incidence of AD is linked to carbohydrate-rich diets, especially in people who are either heterozygous or homozygous (strongest susceptibility) for the APOE4 allele.

Strongly suggest you take a look at:

The Alzheimer's Antidote

The End of Alzheimer's.

These are just a quick start. There are fascinating papers in the literature as well, but those can get challenging depending upon experience in reading professional papers.

Bottom line: modern diets are a profound mis-match for the human genome. Homo sapiens is smart enough to do really stupid things, like changing elements of our lifestyle at a pace far beyond the ability to adapt (genetically).

You might need to find out if you/your mother carry the APOE 4 gene. My doctor tested me (in Canada) and I also took the 23andme DNA test.

Because I have a copy of the APOE4 gene, there is a higher than normal probability I might develop Alzheimer's in my 80's. Dr. Dale Bredesen
has written a book on preventing/reversing Alzheimer's which includes a keto style diet as well as other protocols. I wish I would have had this knowledge 30 years ago. He thinks there are 3 different types of Alzheimer's - genetic, diet and chemically induced.
