Sugar Damage and Dementia

Posted on by

A normal brain requires reliable supplies of fatty nutrients supplied by the liver as LDL. LDLs are fatty packets of nutrients travelling in the blood to feed the brain and other organs.  LDL receptors on the organs recognise the LDL packets and absorb them. The ‘empty packets’ (HDL), carrying waste for recycling, return to the liver via the blood stream.

Over time sugars damage the LDL labels, and thus stop the nutrients from being recognised by the brain’s LDL receptors. Consequently LDL stays in the blood and less HDL packets are produced.  This raised LDL. and lower HDL. is associated with poor health. The cause is sugar-damage. image

Sugar damage causes the brain to be starved of vital fat and cholesterol.

Treatments which lower ‘LDL cholesterol’ do not help. They further deprive the brain of LDL, The brain and other organs become starved of fatty nutrients. Meanwhile, any excess dietary sugars (fructose & glucose) become the cause many ‘diabetes associated’ illnesses.

Fructose, which is increasingly being added to food products, is the new problem sugar. It is more reactive and 10 times more damaging than glucose.

The vital fatty nutrients in LDL are falsely called ‘Bad Cholesterol’.

Raised blood lipids (LDL) are a symptom, and again the cause is sugar-damage.

Is it any wonder that years of the dogmatic policy of ‘Cholesterol Reduction’ have failed to deliver health benefits, and is fraught with problems such as muscle wastage, diabetes and dementia?
