A large body of evidence now suggests that Alzheimer's is primarily a metabolic disease. Some scientists have gone so far as to rename it: they call it type 3 diabetes.
The link between diet and Alzheimers has been known for a
number of years. A Japanese study in 2000 showed that dietary
intervention could help people with Alzheimers. The study followed
individuals with Alzheimers as well as healthy people and found that
those with Alzheimers had a substantially different diet to the healthy
sample. Those with Alzheimers disliked yellow and green vegetables and
ate more meat.
Those with Alzheimers had a low consumption of fish.
An interesting finding (IMO) is that the poor diet was long standing in
some cases as long a 44 years and therefore was not a consequence of
having Alzheimers. It could be that the cause of Alzheimers is similar
to coronary heart disease and other dietary related illnesses.
Alzheimer's could be the most catastrophic impact of junk food
Alzheimer's is really just 'type-3' diabetes, new research shows
