How menopause affects the brain is very interesting.

That's interesting. Thanks for bringing this up.

I'm reading a book called The Myth of Alzheimer's. The author is an expert in the field of brain aging, and he calls for a more balanced view of brain aging. Alzheimer's has been turned into an industry, and it's not beneficial for those facing cognitive changes as they age. We will all experience a decline in our faculties just as our physical bodies decline with age. It's an interesting book and puts these issues into a better perspective.

OkieGranny, you hit the proverbial nail on the head:

"Alzheimer's has been turned into an industry" .    I would add that aging itself has been turned into an industry, with potential for exploitation of seniors, perhaps the most vulnerable population other than babies and children.

Hello e1-
i completely agree that Alzheimer’s and EVERY other possible thing humans can get their hands on can or has been twisted for profit and exploitation. Especially in the medical, specifically pharmaceutical industries. IMO, COVID is a prime example of this. At some point we all will or have fallen into some type of situation where we are the host for some capitalist parasite. This video offers an explanation of how menopause affects us and a confirmation that we’re not crazy.
