Thanks all for posting. Earlier today I posted about the Fortune article over on the Our Stories forum and asked if anyone heard of this. And they pointed me here. Didn't realize it was such old news, yet trials are due. The list of foods is pretty much what I eat (except eggs), and I agree it'd be ...

Below is a link to this month's cover story in Fortune Magazine. It is on L-Serine and its possible help with patients of ALS and Alzheimer's. What is the latest you've heard on this? The article ends with a visit to a town in Japan without the diseases, and says "“Wouldn’t you know it! The Ogi...

I would also say that caregiving can be hell. I belong to the local United Way Caregivers Coalition. I go actually for caring for myself. Lots to learn and share, very supportive. And I see such difficult situations that caregivers have in caring for others, often multiple people. Do you have good s...

... I've been lurking on forums for years ... I wrote some of my thoughts to another post you can read, but I also like your idea of limiting saturated fat sources. I have great cholesterol - that ties to everything it seems like heart health and dementia - that I believe may relate to a diet for o...

… I have already begun exercising regularly ... I agree, don't make yourself crazy. Live a healthy life style - moderate exercise, good foods (sensible eating such as mediterranean diet, FODMAP diet to find sensitivities as I posted above if you have gut issues, weight watchers diet). good sleep, g...

I never thought that what I ate was causing my inflammation … eliminating dairy, sugar, soy, peanuts, corn, wheat (all grains) and eggs turned my life around in a short amount of time. My gastro doc put me on something like what you did but more specific - the FODMAP diet. It eliminates foods that ...

Sugar substitutes are artificial processed food-like substances, and therefore not recommended for any healthy diet. A good point. My FODMAP diet per gastro doc eliminates things that tend to irritate your gut, (you can bring them back one at a time to see how your gut responds), and includes fake ...
