Yes. Less sugar/artificial sugars/insulin spiking foods = less insulin = greatly lowered risk of insulin resistance = lowered risk of CNS insulin dysfunction and neurodegeneration = lower risk of AD. Insulin resistance causing widespread insulin dysfunction which eventually overrides the CNS's defenses and causes CNS insulin malfunction is what causes AD.

Reply to The Role of Insulin Signaling in Hippocampal-Related Diseases: A Focus on Alzheimer’s Disease by faiththeillustrious

Abstract highlights:

  • In recent years, more and more evidence has proved that insulin regulates various functions of the brain.
  • The hippocampus, one of the earliest brain regions affected by AD, is widely distributed with insulin receptors.
    • Studies have shown that type 2 diabetes mellitus, characterized by insulin resistance, is closely related to AD, which has drawn extensive attention to the relationship between hippocampal insulin signaling and AD.
  • We also highlight the molecular link between hippocampal insulin resistance and AD and provide a theoretical basis for finding new therapeutic targets for AD in clinical practice.
  • As a common link between T2DM and AD, in recent years, insulin resistance has been shown to contribute directly or indirectly to the progression of AD.

That is a limited materialistic view, but if you recognize the universal spirit of life that unites all humans, this becomes clear. You look beyond differences and accept those who hate you because it does not have to affect you. It is a deficiency of maturity and intelligence in them. It is not about you. It is an egoic assumption of the fearful, controlling mind of conscious humans. One that you do not have to subscribe to.

If you wish to experience the freedom that comes with acceptance, that is. I am not saying love for all is the unconditionality. I am saying that when you do love someone, truly, it is without expectations and restrictions of your mind's image of what "should be."

And I meant this more in the context of familial/romantic/friend relationships.
