Type 3 Diabetes: The Alzheimer’s-glucose connection
Alzheimer’s disease is common and mysterious, well-documented and hidden.
Though it affects an estimated 5.4 million Americans today (5.3 million are 65 or older), by 2050 almost 14 million people in the U.S. and 1.4 million in Canada are expected to have this condition.
Although there are medications available, none slows the progress of the disease and none has come close to a cure.
In fact, several major drug trials aimed at tackling the disease have shut down prematurely because of colossal failure of the proposed medication. But there is hope due to new clues about diet.
