Fast Food A Potential Risk Factor For Alzheimer's

Researching fast food as a potential risk for Alzheimer's proves researchers have Alzheimer's.

"Mice that were fed a diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol for nine months developed a preliminary stage of the morbid irregularities that form in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. The study results, published in a doctoral thesis from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet (KI), give some indications of how this difficult to treat disease might one day be preventable.

Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, there being roughly 90,000 patients with the disease in Sweden today. The underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease are still something of a mystery, but there are a number of known risk factors."

Like nothing having to do with fast food and everything, according to these morons, to do with the alleged macronutrient distribution in food.

"'We now suspect that a high intake of fat and cholesterol in combination with genetic factors, such as apoE4, can adversely affect several brain substances, which can be a contributory factor in the development of Alzheimer's,' says Susanne Akterin."

As if fat and cholesterol are only found in fast food.

But blame what you can in order to get more money for your bulls**t research.

"'All in all, the results give some indication of how Alzheimer's can be prevented, but more research in this field needs to be done before proper advice can be passed on to the general public,' she says."
