Red Whiskers - 12/2/2025 07:31 I agree, everyone is different. All I know is not having colds or flu and no arthritis for the last few years makes it easier to stay away from carbs. Same for me plus at least a half dozen other health improvements. That is not to say some other way of eating would not be even better. Maybe it would. But I am overjoyed with the benefits to date with what I an already doing. My suspicion is that going full carnivore would help my wife and I even more. Just have not had the commitment or desire to try that out for a while. But who knows? Maybe going full vegan is the ticket. I doubt it based on my own experience, but I have definitely never tried it. Pretty sure I will not.
3 first cousins of mine have/had dementia, they were vegetarians, never overweight, 2 of 4 sisters have/had dementia they were fit, "healthy" eaters most their lives. these are all upper 60's to 75 year olds, father in-law had vascular dementia years ago, he was diabetic, 96 years old, just the last few months were a struggle, lived on his own until then, uncle died from dementia, grandmother on other side of family died from Alzheimers 35 years ago, lots of variables in these cases, not seeing anything from mainstream medical or the u tube drs that connects any dots. others have same genetics and similar lifestyles and seem to be doing well, time will tell for me, I am a meat and egg guy for the most part, intermittent fasting along with eating enough fat makes it really easy to stay full and maintain weight. If I don't get dementia I could say it was from my diet, but others in family haven't gotten it and eat differently, so do we really know anything? | |

Alzheimer's - genetic or lifestyle?
