Blood Sugar and Brain Health
« on: September 04, 2012, 12:35:17 PM »
We already know how harmful sugar can be on the body - but this recent study finding that even blood sugar in the normal ranges can affect brain health - possibly leading to dementia.  Sorry if this has already been posted

Hi csmith  thanks for sharing.  My step daddy that just passed away recently had been suffering with dementia.  It is such a horrible disease.  He also was a diabetic that had a hard time controlling his blood sugar.  Sugar is just the devil...that is all I can say  :-\  The biggest reason FTS has saved me...

Thank you for sharing this, Chris! :) :) :)

I've often wondered what other damage we do to ourselves by eating too many carbs?

Slowly but surely, the evidence is mounting about eating too many carbs and the effects from resulting elevated blood sugar levels.
Some of this damage may take decades to appear.

How many diseases could we stop by eating low carb?
We must keep spreading the word!!!

I remember reading an article about Alzheimer's & dementia being considered as a type of diabetes.  I may have posted it on here somewhere.
