Older people who consume a diet very high in calories may be increasing their risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the memory loss and mental-function problems that sometimes precede Alzheimer’s disease. In a new study of more than 1,200 people in their 70s and 80s, Mayo Clinic researchers found that men and women who consumed at least 2,143 calories per day had more than double the odds of having MCI, compared with those who consumed 1,526 calories per day or less. Preliminary findings from the study are slated to be presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in April. Unlike research published in medical journals, the study has not yet been thoroughly vetted by other experts in the field.  Should Everyone Avoid Gluten For Good Health?

David Katz, M.D.
Director, Yale Prevention Research Center A commentary published last week in Nature argues for the regulation of sugar as a toxic substance. The authors and I agree about ends — reducing sugar intake — but have some potential differences about means. The notion that sugar is a “poison” was established when a lecture by Dr. Robert Lustig espousing that view went viral. Dr. Lustig has made the same case in peer-reviewed articles, and he and his co-authors do so again in last week’s commentary. While the construction of alarming tables and figures demonstrating the calamitous effects of sugar (and specifically, fructose — Dr. Lustig’s particular nemesis) can be defended with legitimate science, it is nonetheless something of a distortion. Even more calamitous pathways could be mapped out for oxygen, which in excess is not just highly toxic, but lethal in rather short order. Oxygen, per se, is not poison of course. The dose makes the poison.
