Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating disease whose recent increase in incidence rates has broad implications for rising health care costs. Huge amounts of research money are currently being invested in seeking the underlying cause, with corresponding progress in understanding the disease progression. In this paper, we highlight how an excess of dietary carbohydrates, particularly fructose, alongside a relative deficiency in dietary fats and cholesterol, may lead to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A first step in the pathophysiology of the disease is represented by advanced glycation end-products in crucial plasma proteins concerned with fat, cholesterol, and oxygen transport. This leads to cholesterol deficiency  in neurons, which significantly impairs their ability to function. Over time, a cascade response leads to impaired glutamate
signaling, increased oxidative damage, mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction, increased risk to microbial infection, and, ultimately, apoptosis. Other neurodegenerative diseases share many properties with Alzheimer’s disease, and may also be due in large part to this same underlying cause.

Every individual gets at most only one chance to grow old. When you experience your body falling apart, it is easy to imagine that this is just due to the fact that you are advancing in age. I think the best way to characterize statin therapy is that it makes you grow older faster. Mobility is a great miracle that cholesterol has enabled in all animals. By suppressing cholesterol synthesis, statin drugs can destroy that mobility. No study has shown that statins improve all-cause mortality statistics. But there can be no doubt that statins will make your remaining days on earth a lot less pleasant than they would otherwise be.

To optimize the quality of your life, increase your life expectancy, and avoid heart disease, my advice is simple: spend significant time outdoors; eat healthy, cholesterol-enriched, animal-based foods like eggs, liver, and oysters; eat fermented foods like yogurt and sour cream; eat foods rich in sulfur like onions and garlic. And finally, say “no, thank-you” to your doctor when he recommends statin therapy.

I really enjoyed this book. It was different from my usual read as I normally go for thrillers. The book follows the title character `Lynda Collins’ from early adolescence into her 30s. It is full of strong and colourful characters and I found it a bit like reading a soup opera. If you like Eastenders or Coronation Street then you will enjoy this book. I look forward to book 2.

The diet was hatched in Poland some 40 years ago by Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, who started developing it while working as a dietician for a military sanitarium in Ciechocinek, Poland. There he observed that many of his patients were sick, “not because of any pathogenic factors … but the result of one underlying cause – bad nutrition,” according to his English language “Optimal Nutrition” book. After experimenting on his family and himself, Kwasniewski concluded that the ideal nutritional combo came from eating three grams of fat for every one gram of protein and half a gram of carbohydrates.

Lech Walesa was diabetic. He was on 52 units of insulin a day, spent 3 days a month in hospital and was under the care of 3 different ‘experts’. He was then treated by Dr Jan Kwasniewski, who has been successfully treating diabetics for 30 years on a low carb/high fat diet. Lech Walesa is no longer diabetic. The body converts carbs straight into glucose.
