Dr. Perlmutter believes that our diet is causing
dementia, depression, and epilepsy. Pretty much anything that involves the
brain can be adversely affected by diet. He is particularly focused on the
negative impact of high-carbohydrate diets.
Dr. Perlmutter advocates a low-carb, high-protein diet.
His book, Grain Brain, describes the harmful impact of our modern eating
habits. Much of his wrath is reserved for sugar. He ties consumption of
processed sugar with dementia and lowered cognitive skills.
Back in the cave man days, our diet contained only 5%
carbohydrates. Today the average diet is 60% carbohydrates. This shift in
eating was not accompanied with a matching shift in our digestive system,
leading to negative health outcomes.

Can you live without your pasta if it means that you will
avoid Alzheimer’s Disease? Can you skip that donut to avoid a headache? Let us
know what you think!
