I had the opposite thought thinking the research needs to be safeguarded from BigPharma.

“The Chicago study reported the strongest evidence of an association. High intake of saturated fat doubled the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and even moderate intake of trans fat increased the risk by 2 to 3 times. [ 20] “

But what it my fat wants to identify as trans?

Any differences that may have existed between “science” and magic seem to have disappeared.

Give them some ouija boards in the labs and they should be good to go!

My guess is that excessiive bacteria in the mouth degrade the blood-brain barrier and allow damaging beta protein to slip into the brain, with trans and saturated fats facilitating the transport.

Amy Loid. I dated her in high school. Amy sure knew how to cross the brain barrier and cause overly excited neurons.

Higher HDL levels are associated with a lower risk of Alzheimers. Chronic infection/inflammation is one factor that can lower HDL levels.

Drinking beer increases HDL.

Has to be a strong genetic factor also. My mother in law died of Alzheimers. My wife has moderate dementia. The first symptoms appeared at about the same age they did for her mother. Her brother is a few years younger and is experiencing early symptoms.

My wife always ate healthy and never weighed more than 105 lbs in the 57 years we have been together.

Long-term Framingham study and others have shown just the opposite. The old saturated fat causes heaet disease theory is not borne out by data.
