Your morning show is the one I watch. I have to say that you were all rather unfair to Dr. David Permutter this morning. My mother and youngest sister DIED from early onset Alzheimer's. Both of them ate HIGH CARBOHYDRATE diets all their lives (some of this was due to little money in my siblings and my growing up years...and it set the addiction to carbs for our lives). The American Medical Association once called Alzheimer's "Diabetes III". So of COURSE, carbohydrates are a problem for people who eat too much of them. Hopefully, I will not get Alzheimer's, but know that I am trying hard to eliminate grains, sugar, and other high carbohydrate foods from my diet. And you all were worrying about eating more fats and dying from a heart attack...dietary fats are only a problem in combination with carbohydrates! Dr. Atkins was finally proven right about THAT and still people continue with their addictions and trashing of carbohydrates as a known problem. AND I'd rather die from a heart attack than die from Alzheimer's!
