Sugar entering the brain during septic shock causes memory loss

The loss of memory and cognitive function known to afflict survivors of septic shock is the result of a sugar that is released into the blood stream and enters the brain during the life-threatening condition. This finding, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, explains the premature mental aging that follows septic shock and may shed light on memory loss in other diseases.

The more I learn about how the brain works with the digestive system, the more I am amazed.

Mice fed KD normalized blood glucose while mice fed CD developed hypoglycemia from endotoxin sepsis. The switch to fat-based metabolism induced by KD may prevent hypoglycemia by maintaining hepatic glycogen, increasing insulin resistance, and decreasing inflammatory signaling.

And then there's this;

FAT LOAD OF GOOD High-fat keto diet ‘could increase your risk of deadly sepsis’, experts warn
Scientists believe something in high-fat food could change the immune system which triggers sepsis

I mean, they show why we shouldn't take their headline seriously immediately after;

Quote:

YOU'RE much more likely to develop deadly sepsis if you eat a lot of fatty foods, experts have warned.

Gorging on burgers and chips, pizza, cakes and other sugary treats is known to be bad for our waistlines.

Quote:

Experiments in mice showed that those fed a low-fibre, high fat and sugary diet were more likely to develop severe sepsis and die.

Dr Brooke Napier, who led the research, said: "The mice's immune system on the Western diet looked and functioned differently.

"It looks like the diet is manipulating immune cell function so that you're more susceptible to sepsis, and then when you get sepsis, you die quicker."

The study doesn't seem to have involved a keto diet. But Dr. Napier did tweet on April 9 "Ever wonder what a mouse ketogenic diet looks like" which interests me because it means sometime in the future we may have a study more relevant to the diets we eat.

Wow, this is interesting!
Keep that poison out of our brains all of the time by not eating it, ever.

Not really an issue of dietary sugars getting into the brain, this is a matter of inflammation/immune response causing structural carbohydrates that are involved in our immune system's recognition of our own versus invading pathogen's tissues to be damaged, entering the blood stream and then finding their way into our brain. So there is a dietary/metabolic control etc. connection, or probably many of them, through the effects of blood glucose etc. on immune response and inflammation, but the poisoning if we want to call it that isn't as simple as excess carbohydrate getting into the brain.

You hit the jackpot of the true meaning of "Fake News". It shows how people with hidden agenda manipulating public's mind. Low Carbers are one of the groups and people being attack hard by fake news and fake science. We understand perfectly how other victims of fake news/fake science felt. So do not join fake news and fake science.
