I've been reading a lot about metabolism since my mother's death to type 2 diabetes. In those discussions, Alzheimer's disease is infrequently described as type 3 diabetes. I think maybe the cure for type 2 diabetes and many cases of Alzheimer's is so unpalatable that they've decided not to discuss it.

If we all suddenly stopped buying food-like products much of our economy would collapse.

I've heard similar lately, that it could be a side effect of the body failing to process glucose as we age, leading to mitochondria damage in brain cells, so in effect it' could be related to diabetes. I don't have details, just seen it mentioned twice now over the past few months from different sources.
