High-carb and high-sugar diets raise Alzheimer's risk

Carb rich and high sugar diet increases the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment by four times in seniors. High-carb diets may play a role in the development of beta amyloid plaques, proteins found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. People consuming plenty of proteins and fats are less likely to suffer cognitive decline. Mild cognitive impairment is defined as memory loss apparent to the individual and those around them, but with an absence of other dementia symptoms such as changes in personality and mood.
