Glucose
is the primary fuel for the human brain, but what happens when the brain is
exposed to the excessive added sugars of the standard global diet?
Elevated
blood glucose damages blood vessels, and this blood vessel damage is the major
cause of vascular diabetes complications, such as retinopathy. The vessels in
the brain can also become damaged by hyperglycemia, and there is evidence that
this damage contributes to a progressive decline in brain function.
