[QUOTE="Cowboyjim, post: 300558, member: 23128"] [url]http://www.naturalnews.com/036708_Alzheimers_type-3_diabetes_brain_disease.html[/url] Maybe not the cheeriest of news to start the week but it is serious stuff worthy of debate. "It turns out that Alzheimer's progresses as a result of the brain developing resistance to insulin, which in turn prevents proper lipid (fat) metabolism. Over time, these lipids build up in the brain rather than properly absorb, which results in increased stress and inflammation, as well as the symptoms commonly associated with dementia." The next bit is also highly interesting tho even more of a concern when trying to choose what our options are for taking associated meds such as statins. "Since many elderly individuals that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's take statin drugs to lower their cholesterol levels, the first logical step would be to stop taking these drugs. Not only have statins been shown to cause and exacerbate Alzheimer's, they have also been shown to cause diabetes. So taking them, as many elderly dementia patients do, runs contrary to common sense, and will only make the problem worse." [/QUOTE]
