I can agree with the above but frankly believe the planet/environment is too far gone as far as being able to be totally healthy from birth no matter how hard we try. You could go off the grid and work your rear end off growing and raising your own if you want, probably not a bad idea. I admire that. If I'd had kids, I'd do my best to try to keep them from all the processed/junk foods. I wish things were the way they were when my grandmother was "coming up." She lived to 96 and was dementia free, always ate well and seldom had anything junky till the end of her life. I'm a bible believer and think we are going steadily downhill in all ways, physically and spiritually, just my two cents, but I do try most days of the week to behave myself.

Eating coconut oil, even a teaspoon a day has found by people on this site to help Dementia. Of course there is a connection! How food reacts to us and how the envioronmnet interacts, cause and effect is all chemistry, and I don't mean drugs.
We are also about energy, thoughts, and soul. Just because most of us don't know the chemistry of food to body, it sure doesn't support that there is no connection to cause and effect. Know what I am saying?
It's D3 by the way that is what you all need to consume.

There is research on all sorts of things contributing or causing dementia, lack of exercise as well as Vitamin D deficiency and sugar intake are suspected culprits. I, personally, do not think it is one thing that will be found to be the cause, rather a group of unhealthy habits. If it were just one thing, I think a cure would have been found by now.

L was experiencing some memory issues that is thought to be a result of mini strokes, TIA's. His doc had him start vitamin D3 2000 ICU twice a day, sublingual B12 5000 ICU once daily, and Aggrenox an extended release aspirin twice a day. They seem to help slow whatever is occuring but memory problems continue, and he is covering up quite well. But this is the first year that he has not been able to get paperwork together for taxes. As I was helping him with that he also some unpaid bills, that should have been paid on his desk. Course his desk was a complete mess pile upon pile upon pile. I would be confused too!

Old Bob, I'd go with your hunch too but no scientific evidence nor is their likely to be with big foods special interests and GMO seeds.

I hope your mom does well with the vitamins and limited caffeine in coffee, etc.
My own hunch is that dementia is hastened by lifelong habits of eating processed foods, refined sugar, excess fat grams, etc....Repeat: hunch...I have no basis other than hunch.

Mom's doc put her on vitamin D (D2, then changed to D3 or vice-versa, forget which). I see no difference whatsoever in the dementia or hallucinations, no better and no worse, and she's been on it awhile. I doubt it will change the course or that what mom has eaten or drunk in her life has made any difference. I let her have anything she wants, even coffee (though decaf afternoon on) and sweets with a pretty balanced diet. She sleeps the same whatever she's given. Knock on wood, all is fairly well at this juncture for us, and we're even in the process of moving with all the stress involved. You can try different things, maybe more vitamin D could help your loved one.
