Re: Interaction between Alcohol Consumption and Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) Genotype with Cognition in Middle-Aged Men

When I mean by "once a while," it's clearly well within "light drinking" in the meaning of this paper--one 8 oz beer or hard cider, or 5 oz of red wine, every 2-3 weeks (at most). I suppose it's safe, but I'm not sure. That sure seems “very light” to me. From listening to severa...

Re: Interaction between Alcohol Consumption and Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) Genotype with Cognition in Middle-Aged Men

I can't find a free version of this, but I think it's quite important for this question: is it fine for me to drink some wine or hard cider once a while? Hi lumia! This is one of those thorny questions on which it seems the researchers' answer for any specific individual is "it depends": ...

Re: The MIND Diet

SarahAnne, In previous posts I've explained how I dehydrate, powder and encapsulate a variety of greens. I use it as an addition to eating fresh greens, not as a substitute. It's handy if you are too busy or traveling and can't eat enough of the fresh. I can see that you've been very active in read...

Re: "ApoE4 does not influence brain function at young age"

Our results suggest that solely APOE ε4-carriership does not influence brain function at a young age. My personal experience and observation of known ε4 carriers early in life would agree with this statement. One anecdote, my mother was a very bright woman. She died with dementia at 87. I have no i...

"ApoE4 does not influence brain function at young age"

Here is some good news for young carriers of ApoE4 from a poster session by Lara Mentink of the Netherlands at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference today. Study size matters--especially when drawing conclusions about all young people with ApoE4 from a decade-old study of a few dozen....

Re: URGENT: Biomarker Study Opportunity for ApoE4.Info Members

...I spoke with my doctor who seemed, initially, onboard with helping me navigate through some of this. I sent her Dale Bredesen’s book so she could see the cognoscopy list and suspect she has gotten daunted. She mentioned another of her patients is working with a functional medicine doctor and sug...

If it’s not too late - I would very much like to be included. Many thanks. Hi Ljflynn47! I hope you're enjoying the sometimes-crazy process of browsing around this forum. Even people who use it a lot often call it "drinking from a fire hose". The "title" of this topic is a bit c...

Re: APOE 4/4 4x increase in mortality from Covid-19

I just got on here for this subject and I'm amazed there's only 5 comments! Is this a big deal or not? I'm 48 4/4 and mthfr 4/4. What's the good news about being apoe4/4? Welcome, TH23, from another ApoE 4/4 who is 20 years older than you and still going strong! To try to give a balanced view, the ...
