I've had family members with dementia and it is very sad. I did a paper in
my college class about preventing Alzheimer's, and it can be very much diet
related. Trans fats (another of it's evils).

Here's an excerpt:

To help understand the way something as simple as diet can impact onset or
prevention of Alzheimer's, it's important to understand that the brain is a
fatty organ, and it works best with the addition of the correct kinds of
fats in the diet (Tickell, 2007), and the opposite is true when it is
exposed to the wrong kind of fats, such as trans fats which can be found in
hydrogenated oil.

A 2003 study in the Archives of Neurology surveyed 815 people over the age
of 65 and found that those with high intake of trans fats were 20% more
likely to develop Alzheimer's than those who did not have a high intake of
trans fats, and that those who consumed a low amount of polyunsaturated fats
were also 20% more likely to develop Alzheimer's than those who consumed
more. So, by combining a low polyunsaturated fat/high trans fat diet will
make a person 9 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's than one consuming
a low trans fat/high polyunsaturated fat diet, according to the 2003 study.

Consuming mono-unsaturated fats such as that found in oleic acid in olive
oil could benefit brain chemistry and reduce degeneration, according to a
1999 study published in Neurology magazine. "This effect could be related
to the role of fatty acids in maintaining the structural integrity of
neuronal membranes" (Tickell, 2007).

Omega-3 oils have successfully treated depression, ADHD and other mental
disorders. A study published in the Archives of Neurology in 2006 suggest
that the oils reduce build-up of the amyloid plaque linked with Alzheimer's
in mice, and may also help humans. The study of early stage Alzheimer's
patients given omega-3 supplements showed slowing of the symptoms including
dementia.

Other dietary inclusions that can slow progression of dementia are B12,
polyphenal antioxidants in fruits and vegetables, vitamin D, turmeric (rich
in the oily chemical curcumin which triggers defense mechanisms against free
radicals - the cause of cellular damage), to name just a few. Of course,
keeping active as we age is a very good preventative strategy.

Hm. I will have to consider more Indian cooking. Turmeric is a common
ingredient!

I might be able to get my pharmacist to pack the capsules for me... but
would he take them? It's honestly easier to spike his food.

You can buy turmeric capsules (or if you prefer, curcumin extract).

Me, I mix it with carrot juice. They're the same color, roughly,
and the flavors are compatible. Other things I've tried, like
turmeric and orange juice, are gross.

If definitely goes well in many foods (curry obviously, or
chili) and acceptably in others (spaghetti sauce). I have
not tried mixing it plain with rice. I think you need
a sauce to soak it up, due to its dry powdery nature.

For just dosing myself with it, carrot juice does the trick.
For getting a fincky eater to consume it, I have no idea.

Curcumin (the yellow pigment in tumeric) both inhibits
P-glycoprotein (the cell membrane protein that transports
toxins out of the cell) and activates the steroid and

Oooh! You don't want that!

That's why I stopped eating curry completely a few years
ago. If I was ever diagnosed with cancer, I might
already be in a state of multidrug resistance (up-regulation
of expression of drug clearance enzymes), if I continued
the high level of curry consumption I had for many years.

That's also why I stopped eating Chinese chives. They
contain another modulator of drug clearance.

Those aren't the only foods that mess around with drug
clearance. Yellow onions and grapefruit also do that.
If you're on cancer chemotherapy or a recipient of
an organ transplant (and taking the anti-rejection drug
cyclosporine), you'll probably be given a list of foods
to avoid. Any complete list will contain all of the
foods I mentioned above, plus some herbal remedies such
as St. John's Wort. SJW has caused organ rejection in
some people, and failure of birth control drugs in other
people because of its powerful up-regulation of the drug
clearance enzymes.

Grapefruit almost killed someone I know by interfering with clearance
of a blood pressure medication.

Why stink up your house with Indian slop... there's plenty of turmeric
in mustards. If you're really whacko for turmeric buy it ground and
use it in baked goods, smoothies, soups, etc.... a small pinch will
give chicken stock an attractive golden hue.

Hey Mark......I'm certain that, if you look long enough and hard
enough at any particular component of any particular food you can find
a toxin that can possibly do harm.

Personally I don't focus on the possibility of harm simply because of
all these 'studies'. By the time you've obsessesd about all of them
you are down to air and water and both have toxins in them that can
kill you.

All things in moderation. I don't believe anyone eats the amount of
any particular food on a continuous basis that can actually cause the
conditions found in these studies.

Seriously, take a couple of steps back and look at the big picture.
Just sayin.......... ;-)

I'm not too worried about turmeric (note that it isn't just curry, it's
what makes yellow mustard yellow), because I don't eat much of it. I'm
with you about not worrying about a lot of other stuff. But I take a
statin for cholesterol, and it says right on the prescription bottle not
to eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice. Well, that's not too hard
for me to give up.

Grapefruits are weird. They interact with a LOT of medications.

But there are certain foods which stand head-and-shoulders
above the others as health risks. I wouldn't worry about
carotoxin poisoning from carrots, but I would worry about
saturated fats, oxalic acid, and SXR agonists. Saturated
fats cause cardiovascular disease. Oxalic acid causes
kidney stones (I had one from eating too much spinach).
SXR agonists up-regulate the enzymes of drug clearance.
These are not minor risks. They can be life-threatening.

That is the argument for ignoring the scientific evidence.
And it's not true. Only a few foods have a significant
body of evidence that they are risky. Just throwing up
your hands and saying everything is toxic if you pick it
apart is incorrect, and it is nothing more than a defense
mechanism against scientific evidence you don't want to
accept because it goes against what you wish to believe.
Not everything you wish to believe is true.

"Studies" by scientists are the way we know things, but I guess you

In one of the ads I'm writing up about the house I'm putting up for
rent I'm mentioning that one of the advantages of a house over an
apartment is not having to smell nasty cooking smells coming from the
other apartments. I detest the smell of curry, but also the smell of
great northern beans and ham.

Oh, you'd hate what I just had for lunch/dinner then! Schnuck's had
skinless boneless chicken breasts on sale for $1.89 for the family
pack and I bought 4 of 'em! So I just made curried chicken again,
after having been without for the longest time.

I love curries! YUM!

Many don't, I guess though. I remember a Nepalese housemate I had once
warned us that she liked to cook and that it might stink up the house.
I told her I didn't consider that to be a bad thing (no one else
living there minded either), and she moved in. That's part of where I
learned to cook curries! Key to curries: LOTS of spices!

Grapefruit has much more naringin than other citrus,
which gives grapefruit its bitter taste, and this may be
the reason, but the exact cause is still controversial.

You think tenants don't know that... duh... that's as dumb as dumb
gets. Putting something like that in an ad is inflammatory will only
attract the very worst kind of tenants. There is no way to dictate
what tenants cook or to know their personal hygiene habits... word to
the wise, never give a lease, keep it month to month... and never ever
tell tenants what irks you.

Oy. Well, my doctor said turmeric also has anti-inflammatory properties so
would be ok to up the dose.

You're right of course, but I think you have to know what your risks are.
For example, a few years ago my eye doctor thought I had early AMD
(Age-related macular degeneration) and one of the "treatments" involves high
doses of vitamin A. As a smoker, taking regular doses of vitamin A
increases my chances of getting lung cancer. Even ex-smokers are at risk of
this by taking the high dose, so it does me no good to even quit to take the
treatment. Eye doctor has changed his mind, thank goodness. I was a new
patient to him at the time, and he just monitored for a few years for
changes. None.

It is not turmeric that causes that typical Indian cooking smell babe.

It is Fenugreek.:-)

And I actually like that... in VERY small amounts/
