RE: Why the most people suffer from diabetes

in #life7 years ago

The real cause for diabetes is overeating and bad eating habits. If you eat as an addiction, and/or eat lots of sugar, and/or eat little fiber, you are prone to have diabetes and Alzheimer, which is the diabetes of the brain.

They have even begun calling Alzheimer's disease type 3 diabetes due to the connection between excessive carbohydrate intake and dementia. I am a health provider for the cognitive health of the geriatric population and daily I am urging caregivers to seek out the current research to help slow the rapid decline. "Low fat" is destroying people's quality of life.

I agree that you need fat for a healthy brain. I also believe that overuse of statins in the elderly is contributing to their decline in cognitive health.

Yes. I was also alluding to the fact that when you go "low fat", the fat is often replaced by more carbohydrates.
