“Studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and other types of dementia because cardiovascular problems associated with diabetes are also associated with dementia. These include:
Obesity
Heart disease or family history of heart disease
Impaired blood vessels
Circulation problems
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Research has also proved that, similar to diabetes, glucose is not used properly in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. ”

- chrisco255 7y agoI'm not sure of your point, because the parent comment mentioned animal fats and protein not being a primary food source for paleolithic humans and their ancestors (which is not what the fossil evidence shows AT ALL, we created spears and bows and arrows and various hunting strategies and tools that are well documented, for millions of years). But with regards to your type 2 diabetes comment, type 2 diabetes is strongly associated with diet intake of excessive carbohydrates. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30289048 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30289048 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499830/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499830/ You don't need carbs in your dietary intake. Your body can synthesize carbs from fat, just as it can synthesize fat from carbs.
