Before CV, I worked in assisted living, serving meals. The residents who had significant signs of Alzheimer's were the ones who ate lots of sugars and carbohydrates: lots of desserts, sodas, fruit juices, breads, cereals, etc. I watched those same people go downhill quickly, until they had to be moved to the "memory care" unit, where they eventually died. It's very disturbing to see what they go through. New subscriber here! Thanks!

I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri many years ago. It’s now call IIH. I cut sugar and began a low carb diet over a year ago when memory became so bad that I worried I had early onset Alzheimer’s. My quality of life is leaps and bounds better. My memory is like it was when I was younger and I lost weight as well. To me, sugar is poison.

It was too late for me to help my mom but I have tried and tried to help my dad. He and his wife only listen to their MD's and other family members who preach eat less move more, low fat less meat. It is breaking my heart. Alzheimer's, high BP, diabetes, obesity run in my family. I listened to my wake up call 4 years ago at age 49 when my BP and sugar were up. I am fit lean and very active, yet my diet was the SAD and was clearlt telling me to mine my genetics. Keto low carb for the WIN. I'm doing all I can to prevent chronic disease.
