The hypothesis (I'm paraphrasing) is the fructose severely downgrades the mitochondria (this is well established).
The part that is really interesting to me is that patients with alzheimer's have huge amounts of fructose in their brains (that's covered the in the podcast).
So, lots of fructose, mitochondria impacted, thus neurons degraded. Makes sense to me.
As far as alternative hypothesis, there aren't any good ones that I'm aware of.
