Carbs could be bad for brain!
Did anyone read the article in the Daily Sun on Dec. 5, 2012? The heading was "Study Indicates Carbs Could Be Bad For Brain.
It said: If we (older people) eat a lot of carbohydrates we will have a greater risk (4X) of developing "mild cognitive impairment". And this may be the start of Alzheimer's. This was a 4 year study by the Mayo Clinic involving 1,230 elderly people.
It wasn't any surprise to me but it could be for those who like to eat lots of carbs. The problem is that carbs convert to sugar. Lots of bread, rice, pasta, pizza, and pastry and other carbs get converted to sugar.
This is why I have always said that carbs need to be measured and limited to one serving per meal. It's not just to prevent weight gain, it may also save your brain etc..
