Episode notes

On this episode of the show, we are going to zoom in on all things brain health. Dr. Richard Johnson is here to present a hypothesis that he recently published linking dietary fructose and uric acid and glucose to Alzheimer's disease. We're also going to talk about oxidative stress and how to counteract it.

Dr. Richard Johnson is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, and is a clinician, educator, and researcher. For more than 20 years, he has led research on the cause of obesity and diabetes, with special interest in the role of sugar (especially fructose) and uric acid. His latest book, Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent—and Reverse—It, is out now.
