Aluminum cookware, non stick pans, plastics, etc. I stopped using aluminum in the seventies, and never cooked with anything except cast iron or stainless steel. Canned acidic foods, always buy bottled tomato sauces, lack of B12 causes cognitive decline, get those omega 3's into your system! No farmed fish!!! Wild caught or nothing, clean cod liver oil, grass fed beef, pasture raised pork, pastured and organic chicken. Wash your rice until water runs clear. I used to work in nursing homes, and the majority of alzheimers patients were men and women from wealthy or well off families. Time and again I would here how succesful these people were when younger, top notch jobs in academics, writers, many of them from strong WASP backrounds, the country club types. There is a difference between senile dementia and alzheimers, alzheimers is a decline in all functioning, the person becomes passive, no interest in food or drink, language and the ability to be verbal goes away, incontinence of bowel and bladder towards the end. Dementia can be present up until death, the person may maintain verbal ability, there is confusion and paranoia, mood swings, nonsense speech, rage, loss of awareness, they may pick at unseen objects, strip in the dining room, yell about having to go somewhere, insist that they just talked with their husband or wife. To maintain cognitive accuity, the B vitamins, omega oils, Alpha Lipoic acid combined with L carnitine and fish oils are a great regimen.
