Alzheimer's disease, Carbohydrates, Sugar intake, Type 2 diabetes mellitusAbstract
The environment and people’s behavior contributes to the rise in chronic diseases. The study of this is often through evolutionary medicine. One disease is Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a disease of the brain and memory with no definite known causes or treatments. Diet impacts health. Increased sugar is known to cause many health conditions, like diabetes and obesity. Some studies suggest it may also impact a person’s chances of getting Alzheimer’s. This project will do a literature review paper summarizing this evidence to better understand the relationship between the increase of different sugar intake - carbohydrate sugars, processed sugars, lactose, and ethanol - causing type 2 diabetes mellitus and their effect on the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.
