Since our brains are made of cholesterol, I've often wondered if there was a connection between the constantly dropping cholesterol level recommendations and Alzheimer's. I know that heart burn meds (not Tums or Rolaids) have been linked to Alzheimer's, and that these meds shut down acid production so that nutrients aren't properly absorbed. Hmmm.

That is interesting, thanks. Seems like everyone is on one or more of those medications.

That's like saying a red corvette is made out red paint. Cholesterol serves as the precursor for the white matter--myelinated neurons-- not the whole brain.
