“The calculation has already taken that into account. Freepers never like to read the article/watch the video.”
Your link is to a video which cites some research from 2001.
Here is a link to the abstract cited in the video:
http://www.dementia-epidemiology.pitt.edu/IndoUS/IndoUS_ScientificReports/Chandra2001Incidence.pdf
Note the final paragraph of the abstract:
“There are other, possibly inter-related, reasons for the low incidence of AD in the Ballabgarh cohort. Low average life expectancy in India, with fewer persons living into age of risk, might reduce incidence, especially if there is selectively earlier mortality of those at increased risk. Low incidence rates may also suggest the presence of underlying protective factors, or the absence of underlying risk factors...
given the relatively short duration of follow-up in out study, the small number of incident cases, the wide confidence intervals, and our stated concerns about potential under-reporting of mild disability, we urge caution in the interpretation and generalization of our results.”
Like I said... the evidence from comparing people in India with Americans does not strongly support Turmeric and Curry being preventative of dementia.
However, it is certainly possible. I take Turmeric and Curcumin daily because these have many beneficial properties. I also consume a significant amount of coconut oil. I lost a close family member to dementia and am concerned that I will be at risk in my later years. I don’t know if these lifestyle choices will prevent or minimize my risk, but I do not think they will hurt.
Thanks for sharing.
