Richard Johnson, MD: Fructose Levels Are Higher in Alzheimer's Patients
Dr. Richard Johnson summarizes studies reporting that brain fructose levels in Alzheimer’s patients are approximately five- to six-fold higher than in controls and elevated across multiple brain regions. He states that high-glycemic starchy foods (examples cited: potatoes, french fries) raise blood glucose and can trigger in-brain fructose production—measured with specialized imaging/techniques—and that chronic high levels may lead to neuronal death.
