I use store-bought olive oil mayonnaise for my tuna salad, smoked trout salad and egg salad. Watch out for that store bought olive oil mayonnaise. I was doing the same thing thinking I was being smart, but then I looked at the ingredients. The first ingredient was indeed olive oil, but the second i...

I've experimented with Keto but it is actually not good for my type 3/4 and with my cholesterol issues. I'm 4/4 and also had cholesterol issues. 3 years ago, my LDL was at 190 and my doctor wanted to put me on a statin. I told him I'd research the subject before going on a medication and what I fou...

Biogen stock is down about 30% today as the company abandons its phase three trial for Aducanumab. This was considered to be a potential blockbuster drug for the treatment of AD. The drug is an antibody treatment for the removal of AB. I guess this result should not be a great surprise considering ...

Thanks - very nice review. Also, this is the best map I've seen of the World distribution of ApoE4. It is much different than I had imagined from other descriptions. Sub-saharan Africa has the most. Middle East has the least. Europe goes from medium in the south to higher in the north. Malaysia and...

Early stage research, but looks pretty sound.

This is pretty interesting, sorry if someone else has posted (I did a quick search and didn't see it on here). https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/12/health/dementia-blood-vessels-study-scli-intl/index.html "People with the most intense pulses, which pointed to a greater and more irregular blood flow, ...

That was a great talk - thank you for sharing it. Nothing new, but it's always good to hear from another voice. I've often wondered if the government will ever get sued for their faulty food pyramid which shortened millions of lives and likely strongly increased the number of people with dementia in...

I would tell him immediately if it were me, because he still has time to make some changes and optimize his outcome. I was devastated when I found out I was 4/4, but I am also very glad to have found out so that I can make the changes to reduce the risks. I think you should tell him but also provide...
