Interesting - I hadn't come across the link between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's.
So much to find out about ourselves!

These last few months have been something of a revelation for me too. It seems a lot of academic research doesn't really reach the public domain because research papers mostly stay in the academic domain. So unless you've got people trying to bring this information to the public, we're not going to hear about it. Then there's the fact that food companies and pharmaceutical companies will pay for and cherry pick studies that say what they want us to hear for the sake of their sales. I've listened to quite a few nutritionists and doctors pull apart the studies that supposedly link saturated fats and coronary disease. It seems that these studies only show a negligible causation at best when conducted in Western countries, and the opposite when conducted in Eastern countries. The big difference there is of course the UPFs (although they are now creeping into other countries more these days).
