Well, beware of the fructose more than the sugar or grains, although it's a great start to eliminate most of those two. I think the 5 heaping tsps was more the problem than say, 1/2 tsp, something to just reduce bitterness, etc. But with fructose, I won't even trust sweet fruits because I've watched what they do (with a glucometer) to my blood glucose level. That being said, I did abuse myself for many years with sweets and drove the problem to "nearly irreversible". Once you are in that level, believe me, you have visceral fat galore, including in that bulging liver, and nothing is going to work right again. Ever. It can be reversed unless you are a hopelessly abused person.

This is very fascinating. When I used to be a vegan my mind was always in a fog. I couldn’t quite think clearly. Then when I changed my diet and added eggs and dairy I felt better. Eventually I started eating meats and eventually converted back to the standard American diet. Once again, my brain was always in the fog. I felt more irritable and sluggish than ever. I slowly started to cut out sugar, carbs, and even some veggies. I felt more alert, and no sluggishness. Now I’m 100% carnivore diet and I have never felt so good in my life.

This hypothesis seems to make a lot of sense. I would recommend the book on mitochondria by Dr. Lee Know, too. The same thing causing Alzheimer's is also causing Parkinson's and MS. I would say that while fructose and sugar makes sense, he needs to expand on exactly how salt is also a culprit. Were bears loading up on salt when it was time to hibernate? He just kind of threw that in there without much to back it up.

[@LeTrashPanda]

I highly recommend Dr Dale Bredesen's books on stopping AD and he also has a new book about "survivors" who have overcome AD with diet, exercise, and supplements. It's super inspiring!

[@g9nnar]

Overcame alzheimers disease?

[@cschevon]

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Dr. Bredesen's work. I read his published articles and there is nothing remotely scientific in them. They're a series of reports about individual patients. None of them were formally diagnosed with Alzheimer's or met any of the criteria for diagnosis. Mainly they were anxious people worried about their memory. Which almost by definition means they don't have Alzheimer's - people with Alzheimer's don't recognize that they have cognitive deficits. in fact, getting an Alzheimer's patient to a doctor for evaluation is one of life's great caregiving challenges. When I heard about those new anti-amyloid medications for early Alzheimer's, involving IV infusions every 2 weeks and MRIs every month, I just had to laugh.

[@bigk1017]

The problem here does not seem to be the fructose in itself. If you eat like a bear, be prepared to go into hibernation like one. An extended period where your body feeds on stored energy. Knowing when, what and why you eat is the reason you're going to stay in health or not, all things being equal.

[@TehKaiser]

The fructose causing behavior to occur is the problem. You seem to think food selection is left-brained but it's actually heavily hormonally based, just like sex impulses.

[@wwjjss33]

While I appreciate this discussion it frustrates me to hear it veer off point a bit @ ~15:50-ish when they lump “hamburger” in with the sugar & carbs. It’s the bun, the seed oils used in cooking fast food type burgers and not the saturated animal fats that are the problems They then again use the word ‘fat’ without nuance between saturated & un-saturated A century of ketogenic research has shown the effectiveness of fat as a primary dietary component *when it comprises 80-ish percent* and carbs are restricted to 15-20% of energy needs-i.e. low-carb + high [saturated] fat But, I *am* glad we are learning about the sugar-alzheimers link 👍

If you eat meat and fish you will need salt because meat and fish don't have salt in it. The salt was in the blood. We absolutely require salt, we can't make it but we can make glucose so we don't have to eat it. Also, we don't need any fructose.

We need 1500 mg salt per day to survive, along with potassium, magnesium and calcium. The reason why we were brainwashed to avoid added salt at the table is because of the overabundance of bleached salt added to every processed food, like breads, cereals, junk food, fast food...

[@TheWendybird123]

I think he may have been referring to processed meals/foods and snacks (eg, chips) that are high in salt, more than we need. Maybe the combination of too much salt and too many carbs - very addictive and we want more and more, tend to overeat.

[@KenWang2]

Ted Naiman has shown its the protein that keeps you lean. What makes you fat is the energy toxicity from either excess carbs or fats. The leanest and healthiest people eat appropriate amounts of protein daily. Think about it, what are you gonna feed a end stage diabetic if they are starving. You wouldn’t feed them more carbs and certainly not a piece of lard. You feed them lean meats. Protein is what increases insulin sensitivity. Thats what will save their life.

[@expensivetechnology9963]

In addition to flour products, I have been advised to give up dairy products (50% of all meals), red meat, nuts (producing some harmful poisons--a natural defense mechanism), eggs (you kill a possible , bad for your karma), imported fruits (not only fructose). Starvation is the only possible option. Maybe avocados if you grow it yourself...otherwise it has been GMO-d and sprayed with various chemicals. Then you watch a video on youtube where you are advised to let go, don't worry, no more fear, no more anxiety, etc., etc., after knowing where you have come, like this universe with all it's warning signs "WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T DO THIS OR THAT". That's not freedom...that's "tension", which leads to various diseases. If you think that chicken with rice is left on the table and you are safe, but bUT BUT my friend ... there is a video on youtube that explains that the most destructive combination for your digestion is chicken with rice ... two food components that do not go together at all.

[@auseryt]

How does this fit with the many studies that showed that diets with and without sugar if calories equated, have exact same results? If fructose would cause a higher percentage to be converted into fat while reducing available energy generation this wouldn't be possible.
