My doctor told me when I was a child that drinking soda would make me grow up to be a shaky old lady, so I cut back to one can a week. Now, I’m glad I did. A new study by the University of Alabama at Birmingham shows a link between drinking sugary things and Alzheimer’s.
In addition, the sugar-fed mice also had worse learning ability and memory retention and their brains gained more than twice as much of amyloid plague deposits, which are believed to cause Alzheimer’s in humans.
The amount of sugar the mice used is equivalent to about 5 cans of soda per day for humans.
