I agree, and the book Grain Brain is really helpful. I try to eat blueberries and walnuts everyday, and exercise.
I figure the likelihood of an Alzheimer’s preventative, much less treatment drug in my time span is low.
Anecdotally, my mom has Alzheimer’s and she is a sugar-holic!
Have people always developed alzheimers or is it a modern disease? My grandmother was born in 1879 and lived to be 100. She didn’t have alzheimers but did have some confusion near the end of her life.
My mom has Alzheimer’s and I am her caregiver. She craves pure sugar like nobody’s business. She will sneak to find anything that smacks of sweet. We have to hide the grain products and even the fruit. It’s insane. She also will eat just about anything. But she just goes nuts over sweets. It’s really tough.
