Sugar linked to brain shrinkage: study

Research has found that people with blood sugar levels at the high end of the normal range are at the same risk of brain shrinkage as diabetics.

A study compared diabetics and non-diabetics in the 60-64 age range. The non-diabetic group had sugar levels in the high end of the normal range. The study concluded that both groups were more likely to experience a loss of brain volume in comparison with those who had normal sugar levels.

The findings conclude that even without diabetes, a high sugar count within the normal range could have the same detrimental effects, and may therefore lead to a re-definition of diabetes.

    When you go behind politics we see that type 2 diabetes has already been reversed in thousands of people. This information is not promoted by the diabetes drug companies. Dr Liu in Denmark revealed that diabetes is caused by a dangerous gut reaction to dangerous chemicals in processed foods.

    Diabetes has been reversed in over 10,000 people by using a specialized diabetes diet. The diet also reversed body fat in people trying to lose weight. Scientists showed food chemicals is the cause of almost all diabetes. Diabetic drugs on the other hand have been doing great harm to the body. The popular diabetic drug Actos has been causing normal cells in the body to turn cancerous. The drug now has a Black Box warning here http://spirithappy.org/wp/2011/10/02/type-2-diabetes-diet-actos-linked-to-cancer/

      "Spirithappy.org" ? Seriously.

      That site says:
      "The right healing Type 2 Diabetes diet will require no medications. After Spirit Happy diet reached 20,000 users in February we announced to the drug companies that we will not stop reporting the damage they are doing until their drugs are removed."

      Doesn't sound very academic to me, Scott. Who are you advising?
