Do you have any links on the connections between glucose and brain chemistry?
- tacon 6y agoSorry, just noticed your question. Dr. Georgia Eades is a psychiatrist specializing in nutrition and brain health. Here is an article where she summarizes various research on insulin resistance and neurodegenerative diseases[0]. Dr. Eades seems to enjoy poking holes in current nutrition recommendations, but she is able to back her statements up with lots of facts. For example, I first learned of her work when someone here on Hacker News linked to this video[1] about the dangers of eating plants. Say what? It was eye opening to realize, for example, that the difference between fruits and vegetables is that plants want us to eat fruit, and very much do not want us to eat the vegetables. Plants go so far as to evolve defenses that our bodies have to mitigate when we eat a lot of plants.
