"here we are".<br /><br />In recent decades the Healthy fats like those found in butter, avocados, cream, flax, cheese, nuts, and olive oil have been demonized ... wrongly in my opinion. Cholesterol is required to build and maintain membranes, yet many are still saying reduce it reduce it - take this statin, which will reduce it even more, and for many can also have un-wanted side effects.<br /><br />In another article about Alzheimer's by Dr Hayman he says " The underlying causes of Alzheimer’s disease begin with too much sugar on the brain. The cycle starts when we over-consume sugar and don’t eat enough fat, which leads to diabesity. Diabesity leads to inflammation, which creates a vicious cycle that wreaks havoc on your brain."<br />Link to article here<br />http://drhyman.com/blog/2016/02/12/why-alzheimers-is-now-considered-type-3-diabetes/<br /><br />It is interesting to note that both Dr Hayman and Jerome Burne do mention the words diet and lifestyle choices...perhaps others will also give more thought to this?<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-84144960207520893302016-02-15T16:17:28.608+00:002016-02-15T16:17:28.608+00:00The other edge of the sword is that the brain and ...The other edge of the sword is that the brain and nervous system are built of fat and cholesterol. Reduce that AND increase glucose and insulin levels AND decrease levels of fat-soluble and other nutrients for a few decades and here we are. :(<br /> chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-25933783951528584312016-02-11T19:45:22.687+00:002016-02-11T19:45:22.687+00:00Many thanks for your comment Chris.
As I said at t...Many thanks for your comment Chris.<br />As I said at the start of the article, Alzheimer's is the most cruel-lest of diseases.<br />In recent times many are classing it as Type 3 Diabetes ... see this article here<br />http://thelowcarbdiabetic.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/alzheimers-is-type-3-diabetes.html<br /><br />I'm no expert - but I do think both diabetes and Alzheimer's have increased in recent decades - and could have something to do with diet?<br /><br />As Alzheimer's has occurred in my family my decision to low carb (50) per day for almost eight years now - just makes sense. I don't want the blood sugar spikes caused by eating a wrong choice of foods. Do we need all the sugar, starch, processed foods in our diet? I don't think so ...<br /><br />Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion and choices, but I thought this article by Jerome did raise some excellent points.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-6572026270160422672016-02-11T18:59:45.169+00:002016-02-11T18:59:45.169+00:00A neighbour's husband had Alzheimers.

Another neighbour was institutionalised with Alzheimers in her early seventies, she used to be a rally driver and in the end she could no longer find her own house.<br /><br />There's a massive connection to high glucose and high insulin, so naturally like diabetes it is treated with a low fat diet and drugs that don't do much. chris cnoreply@blogger.com
