The west has a super high intake of carbohydrates and an elevated blood sugar level. The brain is nourished by the blood and the high sugar level promotes various arteriosclerosis of tissues to varying degrees.

In the 50s they already KNEW that reducing carbs in the diet helped patients with various mental disorders. I read it in a science newsletter circa 1957.

The foodmakers sat on this data the same way the cigarette industry sat on tobacco/cancer links. The sugar council, the bread industry have been expecting this day and are churning out low carb products that have sat on the drafting boards for years.

They just linked breast cancer in Mexican women to super high carb intake. They play it down but carbs days are numbered. The Japanese have carbs in rice but very high protein in all the fish. And they don't have sugar drinks, french fries or rich desserts. It's a low fat, hig protein world.

It's a new day. A higher protein, low fat and low carb era.
