Carbs and Alzheimer's

Posted on October 9, 2014

Alzheimer’s is a scary, brutal disease. My mom, and my grandmothers all had it. I’m scared to death of it. I don’t know if it’s in my head because what wouldhave been my mom’s 78th birthday is a few days away, or if it’s coincidental that new studies are hitting the media. Either way, I’m an advocate of research for this problem.

There's new evidence that says it might be reversible, or even preventable. Carbs have a lot to do with it. Read On.

My mother and grandfather and from what I understand, my great grand mother, all had dementia - and most likely Alzheimer's. You are right, it's an awful disease and very scary for me since it goes back at least three generations in my family. Fortunately I've greatly reduced my intake of simple carbs for health and weight loss reasons. But definitely a reason to continue to stay away from them. Thanks for posting this!

Monkey, the link to your blog post on 50poundmonkey.com above is broken -- looks like the correct link should be http://50poundmonkey.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/carbs-and-memory-loss/ or somesuch?

In any case a(nother) great argument against our national dependency on simple carbs / processed foods!
