Alzheimer's--let's not panic over nothing.
So much conflicting "science"
Let's not panic about chocolate, beans, and nuts. Here are two versions of the article about copper and Alzheimer's. Nowhere does it mention chocolate, beans, or nuts. Notice that the poor bunnies were on a high-cholesterol diet: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn4045 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3140829.stm But here is research investigating whether some copper compounds might be beneficial: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...1004084327.htm This is a USA Today article that's adding all the flap: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/...ifestyle_x.htm There is nothing in there that specifically says that chocolate--or nuts--is linked to Alzheimers. What the study in question says is that people with high blood pressure and diabetes or prediabetes performed more poorly on cognitive tests. Not surprising. I haven't found anything to implicate beans, nuts, or chocolate in specifically causing Alzheimer's--or being in any way linked. Other studies say that chocolate, beans and nuts are good for you--and they are. (Just go for the dark cocoa and skip the high-fat options.) http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...olate_red.html Eat a balanced diet low in saturated and transfats, keep your blood pressure down and your spirits up, and let's all get back to quilting.

Alzheimer's--let's not panic over nothing.
Well, thank you, Monique, for finding the full reports. I only heard a
little of it on the evening news. The 'shellfish, nuts, chocolate, dried peas and beans' came from my own brief google search: nutrition, copper. I didn't have any idea what foods were high in copper. We've had a test made on our water and it probably says what the copper content is. Wonder where we put it? Polly "monique" wrote in message ...

O.T. Alzheimer's--let's not panic over nothing.
Howdy!
Thanks, Monique. Of course, the real cause of Alzheimer's disease is living on Earth. Did you ever hear of someone from another planet having Alzheimer's? Huh? Well, did you? Look at all those alien movies and the sci-fi books: none of them EVER have characters w/ Alzheimer's. See? Ragmop/Sandy == who figures "they" can report anything they want ;-D remembering where my quilt stash is...

Wow. I'm truly impressed with your research abilities (says the woman who couldn't find a brown paper bag on the internet with help).

Nah, Monique, let's not be hasty ...
"they" don't have quilts either. Well, I've never seen quilts in Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, or Star Gate. If I did, I've forgotten. ;p PAT monique wrote: Sandy Ellison wrote: They never have gray hairs, poison ivy, or income taxes either. Clearly we should move to another planet soon!

Sometimes odd bits of quilted bedding (in non-cotton fabrics) and various other forms of needlework show up as well. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

Ragmop/Sandy I believe I've seen one in an episode of the TV show Star Gate. In a little hovel dwelling on an alien planet that was of really coarse fabric in various shades of dirty browns and grays used as the only bedding on the dirt floor. Lots of quilted clothing on Star Trek and other shows as well. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |
