Don't read this! 9 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
With a parent suffering from this dreaded disease I thought I would welcome a book that informs and helps me avoid risk factors.

In fact, the very opposite happened. Every page is a reminder that I'm probably too late and have put myself at risk from every aspect of my life (despite it being a fairly health one!).

This is a book that can put the fear of god into you and makes it seem like you will follow that familial pathway to dementia. I didn't find it helpful or informative at all as every page is almost like scaremongering.

If this book had been called 100 ways to reduce the risk, I wouldn't have too many problems with this book for anyone who's been living on another planet and not taken notice of common sense health advice and generally accepted practices to see you through old age. However, it is simply not possible to prevent an illness that affects so many people, many of whom routinely have always done most of the things suggested here.

Factually inaccurate 13 Feb 2012
By R. A. Mansfield VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This sort of book panders to people's hope that simply by drinking apple juice, for example, you can prevent Alzheimers.

Has it not occurred to anyone that if you genuinely could do simple things to stop it, then the likes of Alzheimer's Research UK or Alzheimer's Society would have published a book?

Most of this is based on extremely flimsy scientific research - it's basically a modern-day form of snake-oil salesmanship.

AVOID!
