CBC:

In this lab the belief now is that Alzheimer’s is really diabetes of the brain, linked to insulin levels, which can be affected by too much sugar.

Professor Suzanne de la Monte: (!?)

Insulin resistance we now know can occur in any organ. It can occur in the muscles. That’s what diabetes is. It can occur in the liver. That causes fatty liver disease. It can occur in the ovaries. That’s polycystic ovary disease. And it can occur in the brain. We think that’s Alzheimer’s.
