Will you eat less cheese, red meat, sweets, and butter to lessen Alzheimer risk by 80%?

Having cut cured meat, ground meat, most cheese, and anything creamy out of the diet for 2.5 months now has been interesting. Down 30 lbs, mostly less energy than before, but have less allergy symptoms. Not sure if the last two are related but interesting nonetheless. 

My sister lost more weight than she could count, eliminating processed foods, wheat, sugar and dairy from her diet.

Mind you, she didn't shy away from meat and veggies.

my issue was gall stones and so the number one thing you have to think about is fat intake. Sugars, wheat, dairy.. are not that relevant when it comes to preventing another gall stone attack. I had 4 of them and all 4 times were triggered by cheese and cured meat. Since having it removed.. the symptoms have not completely subsided. The items listed in my last post still cause some of the same pain as before (just not as severe). The last attack was something that I would have done anything to avoid having a repeat of. I had a ruptured appendix at age 19 and that felt like a scraped knee in comparison to gall stone attacks.

Damn. I've only had kidney stones, but for me it was due to the hatred of water.

It usually takes excruciating pain, or a major health scare to force lifestyle changes in so many.

It felt like someone stabbing me in the lower right of the rib cage every 10 seconds. It lasted for 10 hours.. that was enough to motivate some change. What is even more amazing is the quackery that some folks read and buy into it. The best example is one quack/expert saying that you can cure gall stones forever by drinking lemon juice. Except that when you do not ingest fat.. the gall bladder just sits on the sideline and does nothing. Unless gall stones are very small.. like .2 cm, they never pass into the small intestine. I can understand the desperation and not wanting to go to an ER but at least in the US.. you can't just call up a surgeon and have it done immediately. You have to get a referral and that demands that you go to a clinic, ER, specialist.. someone.
