"What is suddenly triggering this amyloid response, and why is it
accelerating? Three co-factors are implicated. First, our hysterical
avoidance of essential natural fats; compounded by their replacement
with carbohydrates, which are inflammatory; and finally, the zealous
prescribing of statins to lower cholesterol, compromising this
essential nutrient’s ability to transport fat to the brain without
being damaged in the bloodstream.

"If that’s a correct analysis, the solution to the accelerating rates
of dementia — and also obesity, diabetes, celiac, and other “diseases
of civilization” — over the last 30 years isn’t another expensive
lifetime drug prescription.

"Now the developers are hoping the remaining drugs in trial will “hit
their target.” Meaning, if they reduce plaque without killing or
making the patient worse, they can declare victory and start selling
them at $1,000-$2,500 a week. Note that definition doesn’t include
curing or stopping Alzheimer’s."

Big Pharma keeps pushing drugs that affect so-called risk markers, but
do very little to nothing to actually affect DISEASE & MORTALITY. It
does, however, keep the cash registers going "Ka-Ching!"
