If I had to take a wild guess, it's primarily modern countries of means disease.





Some of these countries have similar diets, so my initial guess of a diet link doesn't really hit hard. But I think Japanese have a culture of working hard. The rat race stress may take some out along with suicide but may protect their brain if they live long enough. My other guess is Japan may be unique in banning certain chemicals in products that others don't.


Your wild guess appears to be just that. The quote is from WHO.

"Worldwide, around 55 million people have dementia, with over 60% living in low- and middle-income countries. As the proportion of older people in the population is increasing in nearly every country, this number is expected to rise to 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050."

Well, I have heard the theory that as life expectancy increases we develop more "old" people's disease that weren't encountered as much in the past.

Interesting enough, people with heavy amyloid plaques don't always show much mental decline.

Medical advances has been able to do very little stop the effects of old age. We have gotten much better at keeping people alive after heart attacks, strokes and numerous other diseases but we have not gotten very far in stopping the slow failing of the body from old age.

All the research into dementia for decades was on the amyloid plaques but they don't seem to be the cause.

I don’t even know if Donny endorsed him. Madison kind of became a pariah amongst republicans as of late.

Donny is whining about PA mail-in ballots today (his senate candidate, Dr. Oz, is currently losing that too-close-to-call race).

Trump gave Madison a last minute endorsement
I don't know if I want Oz to win or lose
I think he is easier to beat in a general
On the flipside I just want that snake oil salesman to just fade away

Indeed they are.

Those store employees and black shoppers had no business getting in the way while that white 18 year old exercised his fourth Amendment rights.

Just wait til Trump steals the next election, things will be different then (I just hope I can get that bunker built by election day).


so the 18 yr old said he didn't want his home searched without a warrant, and some black shoppers burst into his house and searched it anyway?
