Twenty years down the line....someone will finally say that the sugar level and usage by the typical American is the trigger for both episodes. And then we’ll have a frank discussion on just how much sugar ought to be in a soda, a candy-bar, or ice cream.
I have heard researchers who have said that Alzheimer’s is really Diabetes III. This isn’t the first Tim I’ve heard this.
Read ‘the GRAIN BRAIN’
Dentists long suspected a link between chronic gum disease and Alzheimer’s. They now speculate that any of five common types of spirochete bacteria found in the mouth may evade the blood-brain barrier through oral capillaries and go directly to the brain.
This does not cause a brain infection, but when the bacteria die, they remain in the brain, and over the course of years their remains may be the plaque associated with Alzheimer’s.
However, if this is the case, there is an easy solution.
When you brush your teeth, on alternate days use ordinary toothpaste, which fights tartar, and inexpensive powdered baking soda. Soda kills spirochete bacteria with just five seconds of exposure.
Baking soda toothpaste is not concentrated enough to be effective, but powdered baking soda is typically less than a dollar a pound, which should be enough for a year of brushing.
