Sugar Damages Brain Cells, Making It Harder to Learn

Those at the other end of life’s journey should know that most research into the origin of Alzheimer’s dementia implicates not genetic mutation, but sugar.

As we’ll see in the next chapter, your body is constantly growing and responding to signals. And every part of you is swimming with chemicals directing growth and cellular change, including your brain. When a brain is overloaded with sugar, you can see the effects on its cells.

Normally, a single brain cell looks a lot like a tree, with thousands of bifurcating branches, called dendrites. Dendrites on one brain cell reach out to dendrites on other brain cells to exchange the chemicals that enable us to remember, think, and experience emotions. Not surprisingly, intelligence roughly correlates with the number of branches in the brain’s neural trees.
