The Worst Food for Dementia - Rick Johnson, MD

[@valerier4308]

Important information! Thanks! I worked in assisted living, and saw the residents eat sweets and drink juice at every meal. I saw many go downhill with Alzheimer's. Disturbing and sad!

[@ironmaidenfitness654]

This was my mother. She was in care for 9 years (type 2 diabetic at 60, entered care at 80, passed at 89) but arguably and sadly it was way too late by the time she needed care so I’m all for giving them what makes them happy when there’s no turning back 😢

I’m going through this with my father right now. Hospital and rehab for leg weakness fluid and heart. EVERY SINGLE MEAL IS A DESSERT. Starts with juice , cereal toast jams coffee 3 sugars! Lunch and dinner both provide a cake ice cream or pudding. OMG I look like an abuser of my father to ask them to cut out completely the sugar. Their first Question is ‘is he a diabetic?’ NO. I ask , can you tell me what nutrient is in sugar. Please answer me

[@valerier4308]

@TraciPatterson-oz3jx I believe it! And it makes you the 'bad guy' if you try to restrict sweets. I recently saw a hospital menu at the hospital near me. It recommended a minimum of 30 carbohydrates per meal. I have 30 carbs in a whole day.

[@TraciPatterson-oz3jx]

@@valerier4308 Thankyou for responding. It’s a very lonely journey to try to help someone who doesn’t understand entirely as well as hospital dietician questioning me for mine and my father’s (81) health choices. I privately cry with frustration. My daughter overheard the dietician ask me what I considered ‘real food’ What the heck? My daughter was floored. My father has been in my care at home for over a year since my mum passed. At home it’s real food!

I'm 68 and it was my mother era that brought in the food pyramid. who can eat 6 to 8 servings of grain everyday. No wonder we get fat. I remember when Kellogg's sold the multipack cereal, as kids we were so excited by this. Now so many varieties of cereal, sugar for breakfast. I was always thin until reached 40s, gradually reached 200 pounds at 5ft 8 medium frame. I knew I had to do something as my mother died of dementia at 8 and 2 siblings gone to cancer. Both died before 60 years of age. I now eat 2 meals a day, eat until I am full and get on with my day. Really low carb, meat based diet. I have a garden and fruit trees. A side of vegetables for each meal. Eat fruit from trees when outside for long period of time doing gardening. I do not eat grains or sugar or seed oil or anything in a box.. Now 145 pounds, with muscle on my frame from eating a meat based diet. I feel free, lots of energy.

You bring up a great point about finding others who want to live the same. Doc mentions support groups and there are none around me. I watch people around me eat and it's all processed garbage sugar laden food like substance - people look at what I eat and think I'm a weirdo - I guess the point I'm trying to make is that good clean food is medicine, and anything that comes in a package, a box, or out of a window is pretty much a death sentence, AND,,, all my female friends who are older than me have memory and beginning dementia issues however they don't see the diet/food connection, they've all bought the story line that it's hereditary. I don't know what to make of it.

What made you decide to take action against your emotions that wanted to continue the sugar train of living? I care a lot about a good friend of mine and told her that cereal in any form is not good for her, and she got really upset and telling me that there’s nothing I’m telling her that she doesn’t know already. She’s into snacks too. And call those highly processed purchases healthy snack. Wonder what I can say or ways that I can say it so that she registers that they are not good for her. She’s growing out of most of her clothes, but insisted that she’s happy that she’s not getting fatter, while she is.

I’m on holiday visiting my daughter in Mexico (I’m British) and I’ve really struggled to stick to my carnivore lifestyle whilst shopping and going out socially. But all the videos helped me stay on track. In 2 weeks I’ve only had beef, eggs,butter and water and a little milk at bedtime and when we’ve been out I’ve learnt to stick to mineral water and not eat if I couldn’t find anything on a menu. It’s been hard but my body’s looking and feeling really great. I have struggled with the altitude here and the long flight wasn’t easy but I KNOW if I’d relaxed my routine I would have been in more pain and gone back weeks. It’s not easy when we’re with family and on vacation - if you’re struggling watch more videos and eat large carnivore meal mid or late morning until you’re stuffed before you head out for the day and it will be easy to refuse things because you won’t be so hungry if hungry at all. Good luck everyone. I’m so glad when I get back home to the U.K. I don’t have to repair any damage I did in Mexico.

[@AnthonyMiller-yy3et]

I was a geriatric nurse for 22 years until I had a stroke at 59 years old in my sleep. I watched elderly sugar addicts slowly get worse until they died. So many MDs dance around the fact that sucrose is the most addictive drug in the world and it’s also very destructive to humans because it spike insulin. This repeated spiking of glucose and insulin damages the endothelial cells in our heat and blood vessels(endothelium). The body tries to repair this damage with cholesterol and fibrin which start hardening of the blood vessels(arteriosclerosis). These cholesterol-fibrin deposits can break away to form clots in the small capillary arteries in the vital organs. 3 minutes without oxygenated blood caused cells to die(in the brain and elsewhere). The BS about fructose is spread by the US sucrose cartel. Fructose does not create visceral fat. Sucrose does!; resulting in obesity steadily increasing until death. As DR Boz points out, stay away from sucrose in any form! Toddlers and teenagers can survive the progressive cell damage because their bodies are still producing stem cells which replace those dead cells but they are slowly getting addicted to sucrose. At 16 to 20 years old, stem cell production stops and cardiovascular disease-obesity rapidly increases until death if this addiction is not broken. This DR’s book was probably published by the sucrose cartel to continue misinformation of consumers because they don’t care if their product kills you; they just want you money! Ketosis is your friend. Fatty meat, eggs, and grass-fed butter/cream are your friends! Stay with recommendations by Dr Bos! Remember to guard against misinformation.

Recently I got ill and could not eat. I am a person that drops weight too easily and find it hard to maintain my body weight. I eat mostly keto under normal circumstances. To make a long story short, I started drinking coke just to get some calories. That did not make much difference though. After a few days, I bought some off the shelf soup and added this to my diet. Still nothing solid. Imagine my shock when I started gaining weight. According to the calories I should have lost weight, but the opposite happened. Apparently the combination of fructose and some processed food is the ticket, at least in my case. Lesson learned

In a recent video that I saw (IIRC, it was Dr. Ben Bikman's video on uric acid) there was speculation that ketones may in some way that's not understood yet counteract the effects of uric acid. No proof yet or real research, just a theory, but that may be why some people on a ketogenic diet may have high levels of uric acid and yet not have the bad effects such as gout.

I love this conversation, but I have a question. If carbs lend to insulin resistance, obesity, alzheimers, and such, then why weren't Americans a hundred years ago over run with these struggles?They were eating bread, potatoes, and sugar as staples of their diet.

[@carolbozarth5477]

People had to physically work to live. People didn’t have washing machines that did all the work for them, dishwashers, vacuums, cars, holes were dug by hand, not by a big piece of equipment… list goes on and on. They burned up their carbs on a daily basis.

I had chronic gout for 15 years or so and needed allopurinol to avoid the attacks. I still had to avoid certain foods. A few years back I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I switched to Keto and after about a year I no longer need to take gout tablets (or metformin). I am still diabetic but have an A1C in the normal range. I still have a relatively High Uric Acid level, but it is less than it was 3 years ago and I have not had a gout attack even though I eat much more red meat. I pretty much concluded that the gout is caused by a combo of carb and uric acid levels.

I am 59 and T2 (using metformin). I have been, for the most part, keto for many years, but could not lose weight no matter how strict my diet was. Earlier this year I started on GLP-1 and have had some great success. And then about 3 months back, I got my first gout flare (bizarre). The discussion you are having with Dr. Johnson makes me think all my issues are somehow connected. Recently I did have new blood work done and got some good news. My A1C had fallen to around 4.2, overall cholesterol came in at around 91. I have gone from 230+ lbs. to around 165 lbs. (that was the GLP-1 and super clean keto eating). Recently did an InBody scan and my bodyfat is now only 19%. I still use the GLP-1 and metformin, but my morning blood glucose now shows in the high 80s to low 90s. The last 10+ years have been frustrating, but I do see improvements in my overall health…Finally!!!

I watch her 3x a week. She eats sad diet now high carb high sugar is on blood pressure and cholesterol meds. When i get there, she is out of it. Just sitting there and can barely converse she is up but not moving and participating in life. When i feed her carnivore on Tues, by Wednesday she is up and dressed and has conversation and participates in life. By Thursday even though she will speak on same subject 15 times in 5 minutes she is starting to say things like "You've told me this before" . Her nurse has seen a difference in my aunt and making notes in her file. I do not see her bloodwork. But her family has had new blood work done. No new meds. Not sure if testing for uric acid. Can she be insulin resistant? Not sure if her regular doctor tests for IR. TIA

[@mutyambizis]

I am sorry to hear about this. This get your aunt off statins, one of their side effects is dementia which you described. Statins cross the blood-brain barrier and stop the brain from making cholesterol. That is dangerous because your brain needs to produce cholesterol to remain healthy and for new neurons to be developed. It is great that you are starting her on a ketogenic diet that will lower her blood sugar and insulin resistance, which underpins dementia. Lastly, please note that large buoyant LDL cholesterol is not a health risk. Oxidated LDL cholesterol which becomes small dense LDL cholesterol is what is dangerous. Avoiding seed oils is another key factor.

[@ematise]

My belief is that she can be insulin resistant. It is possible. I don't know how her doctor reached the conclusion that she doesn't have diabetes but there's a possibility where, just by looking at her glucose levels, she could be considered not diabetic but her insulin could be sky high, therefore insulin resistant. In this case her brain could be the first and the most affected by the insulin resistance and one of the first signs of diabetes. Maybe, supplementing with BHB, MCT 6, 8 oil fractioned (not 10) and Omega 3 in addition to the ketogenic diet could have good results. And of course if she will have good results meaning low triglycerides and high HDL maybe she should consider reducing stains progressively. They're really horrible for the brain. Of course, all the ideas mentioned in my comment and the others must be discussed with her doctors and care takers. Good luck!

I know it's pretty hard to get your body to run on ketones but can't chugging (R)- 3-hydroxybutyric acid potentially mess with your liver's natural production of it?

I wish my example of healthy eating and being in ketosis would rub off, but he has a very stubborn mind of his own. You can lead a horse to water but……..I have wondered about the effect of ketosis on gout but i have heard many stories that people's gout has been cured by being in ketosis. I do have him on MCT Oil and drinking alkaline water which has helped his gout not to flare up as often. Im open to any advice.

what about honey? In the Middle East Baklava is popular

[@DoctorBoz]

Honey= 70% fructose Fructose turns into uric acid.

I have been on a strict carnivore diet for almost six years and was on keto diet for 11 years before carnivore. I eat high fat, moderate protein. Recent blood work showed that I am very insulin resistant--hgA1c of 6.0 and uric acid of 8.1! I eat no carbs at all. I don't know how to understand this or what to do about it. Fasting insulin is 3. I'm very distressed about my situation.

[@x.y.7385]

Just replying to get notified if anyone has suggestions for you

[@kurtduty]

I'm in the same boat.

[@edwinbickel]

Look at dry fasting. Dr. Dunnings book with a birds name in the title.

[@manojlogulic4234]

You may develop insulin suppression, you can check C peptide in you blood and see how much your body is able to produce insulin, if it’s good then you need to spike your insulin at dinner to turn of glucagon production in pancreas. We need insulin, insulin is not bad thing we just don’t need to overeat high glycemic carbs all the time. Type insulin suppression in KZbin you will find doctor who talking about this state. Basically, as I understand this mechanism is that your insulin is low because of absence of carbs and your glucagon is always elevated and signaling liver to release sugar, we need insulin to turn off glucagon. God knows what is the truth here we need to test it and hope we will survive tastings :)

[@manojlogulic4234]

And, on other side of this story you have professor Bart Kay who telling that for insulin suppression you don’t need carbs you need more protein not fat, in absence of carbs body will use protein to convert to sugar, basically he said you just need one high protein meat with low fat. Overdosing fat can explain your high uric acid because you produce to much ketone and they are not allowing kidney to release uric acid. My advice will be to you to stop intermittent fasting, keep eating meat, lower your fat and for dinner eat high protein low fat meat to produce more sugar and turn of your glucagon production. Bart Key are not advocating for carbs he explained that eating carbs will trigger Randal Cycle in the cells and in his opinion that is main driver for the construct “insulin resistance” and diabetes. I agree with that, since you are so long on meat you are perfectly adapted to oxidize fat don’t need to trigger Randal Cycle to produce your insulin enough to turn off glucagon.

Polyol pathway shows sorbitol as the intermediary between glucose and fructose. Does this explain why diet sodas are strongly linked to overweight? it's low cal but if in the end it's fructose..... ❓❓❓

[@EL-yi6df]

So taking the fruits out of diet?

[@vlatkomarjanovic6594]

Yep.

[@lisaandersson5450]

What was that prescription for uric acid causing weight loss?

[@SuzanneZacharia]

The more education you do, the more likely it is that you have a higher income. Protein and good fat is far more expensive than breads, pasta, rice, cakes, cookies, puddings, and sweets. Just financial fact.

[@kathleennorris524]

But you'll eat far less of the protein and good fats because they provide quick satiety. Processed carbs will stimulate appetite and cause overeating.

[@scnelson5943]

It’s called priorities. Pay now or you’ll pay for it later with your health.

[@elle7813]

Insulin is wickedly expensive. My mother taught me that I would either leave my money at the market or at the pharmacy. I would add that it’s market and good health or pharmacy and disease.

Summary: Dr. Rick Johnson discusses the relationship between obesity, fructose, and dementia, emphasizing the biological switch that contributes to these conditions. Highlights: 🧠 Obesity is a survival response linked to energy regulation.- 🍬 Fructose triggers a biological switch that impacts insulin resistance. 🥦 Low-carb diets can help manage blood sugar and uric acid levels. 🧪 High uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of dementia. 📊 Continuous glucose monitoring reveals how diet affects blood sugar. ⚖️ Medications like uric acid inhibitors may aid in weight loss and cognitive health. 🌿 Natural substances like epicatechin can support metabolic health. Key Insights: 🧬 **Biological Mechanisms:** Obesity acts as a survival mechanism, where certain biological switches drive fat accumulation and insulin resistance, emphasizing a natural response to energy needs. 🍭 **Fructose Impact:** Fructose consumption significantly lowers ATP levels in cells, contributing to insulin resistance and potentially leading to cognitive decline, particularly in Alzheimer's disease. 💧 **Hydration Matters:** Staying well-hydrated can mitigate uric acid fluctuations during fasting, helping maintain metabolic health and avoid complications related to high uric acid. 🧑‍⚕️ **Medication Insights:** Uric acid-lowering medications not only alleviate gout symptoms but also show promise in reducing weight gain and cognitive decline, indicating a multifaceted role in health. 📉 **Dietary Influence:** Low-carb diets help stabilize blood sugar and reduce fructose production in the body, providing an effective strategy for managing obesity and related metabolic disorders. 🍫 **Natural Compounds:** Substances like epicatechin found in dark chocolate can enhance mitochondrial function and combat oxidative stress, contributing positively to metabolic health. 🔄 **Cognitive Recovery:** Proper management of blood sugar through diet and medications can reverse cognitive decline, showcasing the potential for recovery from early-stage dementia symptoms.

It was impressive

[@eketelon]

My wife and I want to join you at Pinchasers but which location in Tampa?

[@Really10801]

Sugar and seed oils, yummy treats from hell...

[@rnarzu]

Some or all of us stop eating fruits?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

ANYthing that turns to glucose also Glucose is used to make back to fructose! When there’s too much glucose So need to be lowcarb, period

[@Yosef_Morrison]

I found it difficult to listen to this video. Could someone please just give the easy answer? Did they just say stay away from sugar and a lot of carbs?

[@judymiller5154]

I'm 10 minites in, heard a lot of rambling words, have no idea where this is going and whether I can stay for over an hour ...

[@LeapOfFaaaith]

This supports the carnivore theory of priming. Retraining your body that it doesn't have to store the food..

[@chazwyman]

Did anyone catch the name of the GOUT Dr. RJ mentions are 30:54, something like Petere Dalinoy?????

[@jobrown8146]

Dr. Peter Delannoy

[@amy11228]

I thought the amyloid plaque theory has been debunked in relation to Alzheimers?

[@kimberleescannell550]

He never answered the question about what number for glucose effects uric acid

[@RickinICT]

He said it's a "dimmer switch". In other words, there's no threshold when it suddenly turns on or off.
