Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I haven't paid much attention to the issue of Alzheimer's disease, but I just got the results back from my 23andme version 3 upgrade, and it turns out that I am APO E4/E4. That puts me in the *highest* risk group for Alzheimer's disease. Basically, it's a genetic bomb that I'm carrying around. Dr. devoted an entire blog entry to APO E4: http://www.trackyourplaque.com/blog/2011/07/the-exception-to-low-carb.html From what Dr. Jack Kruse has written in the comments and on his own website, I am confident that my current, lowish carb, low-PUFA paleo diet is the best way to prevent that bomb from going off. I also supplement daily with 2g fish oil, 6000 iu Vit D, CoQ10, Vit K, magnesium, Zymessence, etc. VCO has been my cooking oil of choice for more than 10 years, and I just hope that it has a preventative effect as well.
