Can Diet Stop Alzheimer’s?

Every three seconds, someone in the world develops Alzheimer’s
disease. It’s a devastating disease: millions of people, as well as
their caretakers, spend years dealing with disabling disorientation
and memory loss. Today, it’s the sixth leading cause of death in
the U.S. By 2050, an estimated 15 million people in America will
have Alzheimer’s—the combined populations of New York, Chicago, and
Los Angeles. But, after years of failed drug trials, scientists are
now realizing that the disease begins with structural changes in
the brain decades before sufferers show any symptoms. And some
researchers now believe that diet may be the most important factor
in determining whether or not those brain changes take place.
