How are you doing Pantone?
News about sugar being the bad guy seems to be everywhere you look these days. In this case I think they are right. I am definitely thinking that my gut issues are minimised since going no/ low sugar.
I read this article from dr Keith Scott mumby about the link between alzheimers and sugar.
Here's some of it. Alzheimer's is rife in m family so I have even more of a reason to cut I out.
Diabetes of the Brain?
Another startling point that I want to share with you, if you've been a reader of mine you heard me say it before, that evidence strongly suggest Alzheimer's disease is actually a third type of diabetes!
Brain cells need insulin to survive and a drop in brain insulin levels leads to brain cell damage. Memory loss can occur if the cells that die are located in the hippocampus.
Patients with type-2 diabetes don't produce enough insulin, or the body does not use insulin properly. It's the same thing, meaning a "no insulin effect".2
Clearly the new study shows that lowered insulin leads to damage of the memory-forming structures and automatically raises the risk of Alzheimer's.
So if you want to age well, keep your insulin levels DOWN. Eat less sugar and starch.
Finally, if you haven't joined the dots yet, Alzheimer's is not a genetic condition, whatever is claimed. It's environmental and triggered by lousy diets, especially sugar, starch and junk.
