Eat too much get fat and Alzheim.. Do I know you?

[Ignis Fatuus]

I haven't checked, but the name rings a bell. Isn't George Moonbat a loonie left amateur economist?

If so, then what the flip does he know about diet and Altheimers? Probably no less than economics come to think of it.

Why don't you try addressing yourself to the content of the article rather than his name and supposed position on the political spectrum?

Because if he is a loonie leftie then everything he says will be without merit or truth?

Sources and research for that assertion, please?

Oh wait, we're not doing science here......

So are there stats showing a massive increase in Alzheimer's in the west, correlating with the obesity and T2 diabetes 'epidemic'?

I sort of agree. Junk food contains too much salt. But if you ate burgers(no bun), preferably with salad or veg, i reckon it would be fine. Similarly kebabs with no pitta is fine.

Alcohol is a poison.

If they were high quality burgers and kebab, probably. But they're normally packed full of fat. The fact it's nasty gristly meat probably doesn't really matter on a health angle.

The fact that they're packed full of fat doesn't matter in the context of a discussion about consumption of carbs leading to an increase in Type 2 diabetes and possibly Alzheimer's.

Please please, are we actually reading the articles, or just using this as a springboard for our own dietary prejudices?

Too much alcohol is bad for you but not for the same reasons as carbs are bad for you.

Fried food is fine provided that:
It wasn't fed on crap during its lifetime
It isn't fried in "healthy" vegetable oil
It isn't eaten with carbs

This is just my opinion. DYOR.

It didn't look like that comment was related to diabetes, but general healthiness.

Fair comment.

It was insulin response and possible diabetes/not Alzheimer's that I had in mind, but indeed the first point is nothing to do with that, and the second probably isn't. So I wasn't sticking to the point either. OK. Busted.
