About This Episode

July 2026 Update: A 2015 ALzTalk episode discussed potential health benefits of coconut oil has recently gained traction on social media. There is no scientific evidence that coconut oil treats, prevents, or reverses Alzheimer’s or related dementias. UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has not identified any clinical data that supports coconut oil as a dementia therapy, and does not endorse coconut oil as a treatment, preventative, or cure for Alzheimer’s disease. UsAgainstAlzheimer's has factual data and resources to improve brain health that can be found at MyBrainGuide.org.
