Dr. Richard Jacoby | The Toxic Effects of Sugar & The Corporate Food Conspiracy
Alzheimer's and Autism, Sugar-Induced Nerve Compression
Dr. Jacobi theorizes that Alzheimer's is essentially "Type 3 diabetes" affecting the olfactory nerve, which explains why loss of smell is an early symptom. He also links the rise in autism (from 1 in 10,000 in the year 2000 to 1 in 50 today) to sugar consumption. He references David Perlmutter’s work in Brain Maker to support the conclusion that these diverse symptoms all share a common root in sugar-driven nerve damage.
