Fasting studies: Brain health/Neurodegenerative Diseases

This is a progress update in my crusade to build a simplified fasting science library - I’ve officially migrated all of my analyzed brain studies (still haven’t worked on graphics and summaries) and thought to share some interesting findings:

• There’s been quite a bit of research into the role of autophagy and preventing Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and some into Huntington’s and Dementia.
• 1 study noted effects in autophagy and prevention of infectious disease but mechanisms were unknown
• Some of these studies were funded by drug companies - one by AstraZeneca (subsidiary), and one by Eli Lilly. It seems like they’re trying to make a drug to mimic the effects of autophagy
