“Here’s a list of foods linked to increased rates of Alzheimer’s disease:
Processed cheeses, including American cheese, mozzarella sticks, Cheez Whiz and Laughing Cow. These foods build up proteins in the body that have been associated with Alzheimer’s.
Processed meats, such as bacon, smoked turkey from the deli counter and ham. Smoked meats like these contain nitrosamines, which cause the liver to produce fats that are toxic to the brain.
Beer. Most beers contain nitrites, which have been linked to Alzheimer’s. (Sorry)
White foods, including pasta, cakes, white sugar, white rice and white bread. Consuming these causes a spike in insulin production and sends toxins to the brain.
Microwave popcorn contains diacetyl, a chemical that may increase amyloid plaques in the brain. Research has linked a buildup of amyloid plaques to Alzheimer’s disease.

As for your cheese, I hope you are accessing unprocessed cheese or those processed in the correct milk to accomplish your goal. The best cheese for you because of their processing are:
mozzarella, blue cheese, feta, cottage cheese, ricotta, parmesan, swiss, aged cheddar, and goat.

Great information!
“...mozzarella, blue cheese, feta, cottage cheese, ricotta, parmesan, swiss, aged cheddar, and goat.”
Everything but the GOAT. We don’t eat any processed cheese. That’s not even FOOD, LOL! I have a hate/hate relationship with goats having to care for them on my Aunt’s farm when I was a kid. Evil, jerks.
We DO eat bacon, but it’s the good stuff. We don’t do white foods for the most part. We’re not beer drinkers, and make air-popped popcorn, which we grow. (Puffy Pop and Cream Puff are great popping corns!) Most of the meat we eat is hunted and fished for and we’re raising our third steer ourselves this year for beef. His name is ‘Weber’ as in the grill. ;) (We already ate ‘Dinner’ and ‘Supper.’)
So, unless we get run over by a bus, we should be OK. ;)
