The Worst Food for Dementia - Rick Johnson, MD
In recent years, our understanding of obesity has shifted. Traditionally viewed simply as a result of excess calorie intake, it's now becoming evident that genetic survival mechanisms play a critical role. According to Dr. Rick Johnson, a certified expert in internal medicine and a professor at the University of Colorado, there is a biological switch in the body which, when activated, drives obesity.
Nature equips animals with the ability to gain weight intentionally as a survival mechanism. This biological switch ensures that they have adequate fat stores to witness tough, unfed periods, much like bears storing fat for hibernation. For humans, inadvertently engaging this ancient switch can lead to obesity, compounded by differences in our modern diet and lifestyle.
Fructose stands out as a primary trigger for activating this switch. It is a type of sugar found naturally in fruits and some sweeteners like honey. When consumed excessively, fructose reduces ATMP production within cells—the active energy currency of the cell—schlepping them into conserving energy, fat storage mode more readily.
Unlike glucose which transiently raises energy levels, fructose continuously drops them, tricking the body into feeling it needs more fat reserves.
Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia have complex etiologies, but emerging research indicates a link with metabolic disease characterized by insulin resistance in the brain and low energy production (AMP). With Alzheimer's, brains paradoxically accumulate fat deposits known as amyloid plaques despite low ATP availability causing aggressive atrophication.
Continued activation of the discussed fructose switch can impair decision making, increased impulsiveness—allied with elevated mind wandering attention properties akin to hyperactivity prevalent in ADHD or heightened search for food relatestees.

"Fructose levels are very high in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients, with important risk factors involving high sugar consumption," Dr. Johnson shares.
