Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter discusses how high sugar intake links to dementia. Most Americans consume up to 30 times the recommended sugar levels, and processed foods raise blood glucose that accumulates in the brain and may cause early-onset dementia.
"Journal of American Medicine" (as stated in transcript).
"Up to 30 times the normal amount of processed sugars that would be recommended."
So there's an article that just came out in the Journal of American Medicine that linked very closely sugar intake with dementia. Dementia is at an all time high in America, and it's almost directly associated with the amount of sugar that we take in. Most Americans take in up to 30 times the normal amount of processed sugars that would be recommended. That's a lot of sugar. We find sugars in all of our processed foods. So every time you eat McDonald's, whether it's a shake or not, you're getting a lot of processed crap and processed sugar. Even in a hamburger bun. What happens is you get very high levels of glucose. This then accumulates in your brain and can cause damage over time. So high levels of sugar, high levels of processed foods, high levels of American crappy diet lead to early onset dementia. Mind blowing.
