Hmm, wish I'd had enough smarts to hide my Mum's equal, splenda and softdrinks. It's crazy you know all this non-nutrition. It is causing the healthcare crisis.
I believe she got mental illness from artificial sweeteners and diabetes from trans-fats foods and from a recommended diet where half of it was comprised of wheat, corn and dairy. How is that a balanced diet Australian nutritionists? I feed extra grains to my budgies when I want to fatten them up a bit for showing, and farmers do the same with cattle. Maybe if at least 50% of her nutrition was from fruit and vegetables (what we have been living on for centuries) she wouldn't have diabetes. But I can't prove it. Maybe you can? A life-times work I imagine.
I found your fascinating website whilst researching budgies and was surprised to find dementia in the same article because in one of those weird co-incidences I breed exhibition budgies and started working with dementia patients a few months ago. Stranger still, a lady I recently sat next to on a plane introduced me to sudoku to help solve the puzzle.
I think you are the person I am meant to express my suspicions why more and younger people getting dementia particularly women as young as 40.
(That's me in ten years!!! Sobering thought...)
Has anyone investigated a link between dementia and the ingestion of artificial sweetners sodium saccharin, aspartame and plastic in our food chain? Artificial sweeteners are in toothpaste which is also ingested. (I don't think I should recommend any toothpastes to anyone no matter how many free samples they give to me with all these chemicals in them. So much so, I have started making my own.)
Your thoughts?
