Low fat and high carb diet at heart of Alzheimer's Epidemic

An estimated 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, and an estimated 600,000 more may suffer from an often misdiagnosed subtype called "hippocampal sparing" Alzheimer’s.

Since there’s no conventional cure, the issue of prevention is absolutely critical if you want to avoid becoming an Alzheimer’s statistic. Evidence points to lifestyle factors, primarily diet, as the driving forces of dementia.

Fat avoidance and carbohydrate overconsumption are at the heart of the Alzheimer’s epidemic.

Risk of Alzheimer’s is doubled in type 2 diabetics. Alzheimer’s has even been dubbed “type 3 diabetes,” as the disease involves a lack of brain-produced insulin.

Heart disease also increases your risk of dementia, as arterial stiffness is associated with the buildup of beta-amyloid plaque in your brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

Aluminium found in food and drugs could cause Alzheimers

New study finds high aluminum levels in the brain of a man who died from Alzheimer’s disease following eight years of occupational exposure to aluminum dust.

Scientists conclude that this case suggests your olfactory system and lungs play a prominent role in the accumulation of aluminum in your brain.

You take in small amounts of aluminum through your nose, mouth, and skin (via vaccines), which can accumulate over time, especially in your bones and brain.

Aluminum is neurotoxic, targeting your central nervous system, which can lead to serious immunological and neurodegenerative disorders.

Recent studies show that aluminum contamination in food, drugs, and consumer products is much worse than previously thought.
