Alzheimer's risk linked to diet

Evidence that diet plays a major role in causing Alzheimer's disease was

released yesterday after scientists found that African Americans were

more than twice as likely to suffer from the condition as people of

similar age in Nigeria...

 

....One possible conclusion is that the mainly vegetarian diet of the

Yoruba, compared with the fatty diet of many Americans, offers

protection against Alzheimer's as well as against cardiovascular

disease, the biggest killer in the rich world...
