EP156 The One About Sugar And Alzheimer's
The Doctor Is In Podcast - Een podcast door Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin
In this episode we talk about a recent study that sheds some light on why almost 50% of people with Alzheimer's have hyperinsulinemia. A new study looked at the effect that sugar has on the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) enzyme. A diet high in sugar can destroy the MIF enzyme. Why is that a big deal? The MIF enzyme plays a massive role in your immune response. Too much sugar can lead to out of control inflammation in your brain. Dementia and Alzheimer's are a growing problem. Dementia is now the #1 killer in the U.K. More seniors die with Alzheimers's than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. We also talk about some practical ways to help protect your brain from inflammation.
