LOL

Unfortunately, I always remember what I eat. And what i’m gonna eat :)

So the theory is that it’s plaque in the brain that causes a lot of problems.

But they’ve cut open folks who died in their 80s and 90s who were still very sharp when they died and had a LOT of plaque in their brains.

I don’t know if it’s plaque or just that the electrons in certain parts of your brain don’t fire like they used to. When I took elective courses in psychiatry, we learned that as people age, they retain their long-term memory, but their short-term memory doesn’t stay with them as it used to. I’ve been retired for 16+ years, and I have problems recalling the names of some of the people I worked with every day. I can see their faces, but I can’t put a name to them. And there’s also times my kids will say “remember when this happened?”, and I have to say “no”, because I don’t. It’s really weird how the mind works.
