Change to Vegan

I have been visiting my Mom for a bit, who has Alzheimer’s.  One of the pieces of information I gleaned from my travels was that high cholesterol is now considered one of the roots of this horrible disease.  People asked me if I am worried that I might have Alzheimer’s too.  My answer is, “No.”  I eat no bad cholesterol.  I exercise daily.  My diet primarily consists of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.  I eat some grains, but no gluten.  I am not worried about Alzheimer’s.  But, if you subscribe to the “normal” N. American diet, you should be worried.  And, I will tell you that you do not want to lose your mind, the way my Mother is losing hers!
