It is interesting how type 2 diabetes and cognitive functions have always been linked in such a way that Alzheimer's disease is being considered by some researchers as the type-3 diabetes.

Which however can be prevented by taking the antioxidants, Vitamins C and E. I've always been careful with such of findings that includes something the will offset the effect, so to speak. It's like the end, justifies the means, don't yout think?
Anyway, the above study (led by Baycrest) findings are published in the July issue of Nutrition Research:

"Our bottom line is that consuming unhealthy meals for those with diabetes can temporarily further worsen already underlying memory problems associated with the disease,"said lead author Michael herman Chui, who conducted the research as a University of Toronto pathobiology undergraduate in the Kunin-Lunenfeld Applied Research Unit (KLARU) at Baycrest.
"We've shown that antioxidant vitamins can minimize oxidative stress from the meal and reduce those immediate memory deficits."
