Abstract in brief

  • The study found that older adults who consume the highest amounts of sugar are twice as likely to develop dementia compared to those with the lowest sugar intake, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and physical activity.
  • Higher percentages of calories from sugar, including specific sugars like fructose and sucrose, are linked to an increased risk of dementia among community-dwelling seniors.
  • The research suggests that reducing intake of total and simple sugars, such as those found in sweetened beverages, desserts, and candies, may help lower the risk of dementia in older adults.]

@TexasAngelAng @idontexistTore To counter the selective community notes, sugar is just refined table orders synthetic sugar. There’s different types of sugar from metabolizing food.

@viva74093426 Cukurs un alumīnijs izraisa demenci. Alumīnija trauki, arī folija, kurā daudziem labpatīk ko ietīt un vēl gatavot. Labāk parkinsons nekā demence. Jo nedaudz izšļakstījies alus vēl ir panesami, bet, ja vairs neatceras kur tas nolikts, tad gan ir ziepes.
