[the primary message should be that overall healthy diets seem to have an impact on limiting Alzheimer's disease risk...]



For those of us who don't want to go through the hassle of maintaining a healthy diet our whole lives, I recommend planning to not live past the age of 75.

:^)

with one possible exception...nicotine.

People with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease who wore nicotine patches for two four-week periods experienced 20 to 80 per cent improved performance on cognition tests. Nicotine works as a neurotransmitter mimic and cognitive enhancer and interferes with the activation of two phospholipases which inhibits the formation of amyloid plaque.

just use the patch instead of cigarettes :)
