1. There are numerous studies that show omega fatty acids and MCT's slow cognitive decline significantly in canine patients (short lifespans and big litters allow much "quicker" studies in dogs).
2 Both my wife and a good friend had severe cognitive side effects after taking ezetimibe that resolved weeks after stopping the medications.

My old veterinarian brain strongly suspects there is a link between lipids and development of Alzheimer's based on those two points. While inflammation certainly leads to amyloid and is involved in many degenerative diseases in the body (Ken Johnson was one of my pathology professors in vet school), it is certainly more than amyloid in the brain, and lipids has to be an important clue.
Ken did his work in 1986, and we have known about lipids helping dogs for decades now. It is tragic that there likely very important clues have been overlooked in the pursuit of... Money? Fame? Validation?
FWIW

Certainly not in pursuit of science!
And thank you for your great work here!
