Sweet, fatty foods - check
Antisocial behavior - I voted for Trump, so I guess I can give myself a check for that.
“ typically diagnosed in people under the age of 65” - nope, guess I’m safe now.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yes, that and anti-social, insensitive behavior like calling someone a lying dog-faced pony soldier?

[MotorCityBuck]

Alcohol, Nicotine and Heroin.
What was the question? 😉

cravings for “sweet, fatty foods or carbohydrates,”

Good thing I'm over 65, then, or I'd be worried.

Ah, craving for sweet, fatty foods.

During my life I actually personally met people like that.

Maybe 89,000 of them.

Others ate strict diets of arugula, okra, parsley, beet greens, swiss chard, celery juice and squares of white tofu.

probably means pre diabetes

Guess I tarted my dementia journey when I was two.

Yes, what the heck are they talking about? Other than sweet tarts, jelly beans, chewing gum and other candies that are made almost entirely out of sugar, the vast majority of candy and pastries have both sugar and fat. This is one of the primary reasons our population is getting fatter and fatter.

The only way to be sure is with a MRI brain scan with enhanced contrast

When you get to be a senior...get one done once a year.

There is some medication that slows it down.

Good signs are ability to read a newspaper...balance a check book...perform al the simple daily functions such as:

Making a meal
getting dressed
driving a car
Using Waze navigator.

Spokeshave at 83 can do all and more of these.

An “expert” on the health effects of poor sleep patterns was on the overnight show Coast to Coast am on the radio.

After his threat of people facing heart trouble and diabetes and more including shortened lifespans if they had fewer than 8 hours of continuous sleep every night, the decades long host George Noory said: “Well, by your standards I was dead about thirty years ago.”

One of the slogans for the show is “Our listeners are people who can sleep at night.”

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Probably not, at least for me. Could be for a lot of people, though.

[frank ballenger]

Darn it. typo.
“...people who can’t sleep at night.”

[Repeal The 17th]

Is beer on the list?

[WASCWatch]

Listening to that show will put you to sleep.

[Red Badger]

Nope......................

[Psalm 73]

(Oh please don’t let bacon be on that list...)

[fireman15]

Investigating further the cravings are for sweet, and or fatty foods, and/or carbohydrates, and/or booze. In otherwards most of what makes up the typical American diet...

Craving hamburgers, fries, bacon, pancakes, waffles, syrup, juice, pop, chocolate, peanut butter, and everything else other than coffee, nonfat milk, water, and lean fish that is not deep fried is a symptom.

What a stupid story. Its a sign of being human. There is a reason that there arent many okra and eggplant fast food restaurants.
