Gave my mom a large honeybun all cut up on a plate with milk for a snack, and within an hour my mom got aggressive with me. Is this common with dementia?
Some months ago I did research on contributing factors, including sugar, and decided to cut out sugar, and chocolate, as I suspected it was also affecting and delaying healing of a back injury I had sustained. I could see the change in a few days, and although I relapse occasionally, my consumption will never return to pre-injury levels.
I can also tell the effect when I relapse and have a cookie.
It makes sense to me, w/o finding supporting research, that sugar's affect on the human brain accelerates its activity, and with dementia in the picture, it could be heightened.
