When I worked in Pathology I learned the brain is mostly cholesterol. Once they started pushing cholesterol lowering drugs lo and behold we now suddenly hear about Alzheimers dementia. Also learned that is the most prescribed med in US ever since.
So I thought why in US and not in eastern Europe where my parents are from (thinking maybe my parents might develop dementia). Found where they were from their main diet was vegetables and dough (like pierogies) LOADED with grease mostly butter or bacon grease. My dad told me back then never heard of anyone in the old country with dementia.
All in all, cholesterol lowering agents are starving the brain.
