Coconut oil!
Hat tip to maine-iac7 for the link to the videos above
Maybe I'll pig out on Mounds.
I like Almond Mounds. Triple wammy! Cocconuts, almonds and chocolate! Hey, all are healthy now.
One of the major side effects of cholesterol-lowering medications is dementia.
Is there an Almond Mounds or just an Almond Joy?
Tough choice between Mounds and Almond Joy as Mounds has dark chocolate while Almond Joy has, well, almonds.
Our Christmas See’s candy arrived today.
Drooling.
Did you look at the video in post #4?
Olive oil. At least a tablespoon a day.
I use Olivio or Smart Balance with olive oil. Don't know what percentage is olive oil but there is some.
See's has gone a lonnnnnng way from the 8 bucks a pound, when I was a kid.
I just ordered some Fannie May for wifey (Christmas); got lucky to click in on the 50% off day, so we're looking at $11.50 per pound.
Sigh....
Good video. I like Dr. Mercola. His website has an enormous amount of info on it.
Coconut Oil, like palm oil, is full of saturated fat. Its the last thing you should have.
“Three plant-based exceptions to this rule are the tropical oils - coconut, palm and palm kernel oils, and should avoid using them.”

Sees English walnut darks are My fave.
I tried there diabetic Sees a few years back and yuk.
Cadburry fruit and nut is not bad in desperation.
I am still very curious as who bought the huge portion of the cocoa bean market this past year.
Hopefully not some up to no good doer. You think the drug wars are violent, take away a woman's chocolate and Armageddon will break out. /joking
It depends on what's the type of dementia. If there's reason to believe it's due to a vascular dementia, I would certainly consider using a statin.
Yup. My favorite candy - and as you say, all healthy...
Didn’t know that when I was first eating ‘em. They just TASTE good.
Dark chocolate, almonds, coconut - the new ‘Three food groups?” ;o)
Coconut oil is found to be the absolute healthiest fat, along with butter from pastured (grass fed) cows, or even meat fat from organically fed free-range chickens or organically fed grass fed animals.
In fact, coconut oil is supposed to be able to reverse Alzheimers symptoms at the start of the disease. This is why they are using it to try and make a patentable drug, because coconut oil is cheap and plentiful and drug companies can’t market it.
Make sure to get cold pressed organic oil. One reason why you should get it is because most every other oil goes bad when heated, and gets rancid at room temp. Not coconut oil. Butter is ok too.
For cold things like salads, some daily cold-pressed olive oil is fine for you. Do not buy large bottles or common brands of olive oil, though, because there is some law that allows them to mix in other, harmful and cheaper oils into those. That is why they are cheaper. Buy the specialty olive oils. Use them only for cold things. Guess what? You should Never look for discounts on edible things, because how you eat is how your body is Made. Your food becomes you. Skimp on everything else but not on what builds you (and your future health).
