Sugar.
I think the correlation is more so to sugar.
I too had a loved one with Alzheimer’s, and there was definitely strong reason to believe sugar was a contributing factor.
- AlecSchueler 4y agoWhat was the strong reason?
- cactusplant7374 4y agoI consume a lot of sugar. I’m not diabetic or pre diabetic. I would suspect underlying inflammation leads to some nasty effects. The same for heart disease.
- simmerup 4y agoAre you balding?
- cactusplant7374 4y agoNo.
- simmerup 4y agoThanks
- 6nf 4y agoWhy do you consume a lot of sugar?

- cactusplant7374 4y agoI think I like the buzz. I go hard on hot sauce too. The endorphin rush from hot sauce is amazing. I bring a fresh bottle with me every time I go to a new restaurant. Sometimes when I leave it’s empty.
- cactusplant7374 4y agoI like candy. I eat 500 to 1000 calories a day usually. I have a pretty demanding workout routine and that helps absorb the energy. In the past I have eaten a fruitarian diet to fuel my workouts. And sometimes I consumed pure sugar.
- angrais 4y agoI'm confused. Do you eat 500-1k calories of sugar a day or calories overall?
- cactusplant7374 4y agoSugar. Overall I do 2500-3500.
- simmerup 4y agoThe excess of sugar in our diets and the inflammation it can cause is linked to so many diseases. I'm not surprised to hear Alzheimers is one of them.
- LinuxBender 4y agoI think the correlation is more so to sugar. I believe there are quite a few scientists that agree with you. Some are trying to rename Alzheimer's to Type-3 diabetes. There are some articles sprinkled throughout nih.gov PubMed on this topic.
- stevenwoo 4y agoIt may be the stuff we eat that raises blood sugar levels, which can be simple carbs as well. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-017-4541-7 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-017-4541-7
