Dieta jako czynnik ryzyka choroby Alzheimera

Chronic exposure to an unhealthy diet is one of the causes of civilization diseases and significantly affects the average longevity. The impact of diet on health is extremely complicated due to the chemical diversity of its composition. The diet provides over 26,000 biochemicals and even more of their metabolites. Among this diversity, three macronutrients: proteins, carbohydrates and fats can be identified that provide energy, and in addition providing their metabolites. According to the latest concepts of the impact of macronutrients in diet on human health, their mutual proportions  and not solely absolute quantities are of great importance. In our article we present a short discussion of our own research on this problem in relation to the incidence of Alzheimer's disease against the background of contemporary biochemical and epidemiological literature.
