Episode 66: Sugary Dumb-Dumbs - a podcast by Fixed Cost Financial

If your blood sugar is on the high end of the normal range, diabetes may not be your only risk. Studies suggest you are also at risk of brain shrinkage in areas associated with memory and thinking. At Fixed Cost Financial, we know from extensive study, that those who are 65 years of age, or older, are extremely, unlikely to ever become a client. We have often talked at length and have long suspected that there is a neurological problem associated with what we call the hug and mug. We’ve often asked, why to older people buy, hook, line, and sinker, the hogwash that a continuous stream of shyster salespeople are selling, and the financial product industry is no different from many other industries, commonly referred to as fly by nighters. Sadly, we have to report that there appears to be a stronger association than we ever imagined, with very bad decision making, based on emotions and those age 65 and older.

Even if someone seems perfectly healthy, research shows we all will lose as much as 0.4% of our brain mass every year. But the key is this, the rate of brain shrinkage increases with age and this is a major factor in early cognitive decline and premature death.
