It may well be in the long run that for most the Alzheimer's culprit
will be sugar. There was a 60 Minutes report a couple months back the
showed that not everyone with Alzheimer's has plaque in their brains and
they've done MRI's on 90 year olds who showed plague but no Alzheimer's
at all. Go figger.

The issue of Alzheimer's and diet is of great interest to me because
as an APO E4/E4, I am genetically in the highest risk group for
Alzheimer's. What I read most often is that E4/E4 people have problems
metabolizing fats and should therefore eat a low-fat, high-carb diet,
with an emphasis on avoiding saturated fats. But, coconut oil is
almost entirely saturated fat, and it is beneficial for people with
Alzheimer's. And in my case, I have metabolic issues with carbs, not
fats. To me, this all points to metabolic individuality and the
futility of making one-size-fits-all dietary recommendations. With
Alzheimer's sometimes described as diabetes of the brain, my approach
to this is a diet that minimizes the huge spikes in blood sugar and
insulin to which I'm prone.

Coconut oil, coconut milk drinks, coconut this and that have been
mainstream for the last few years in the US. Good pitta pacifier.
