- Dementia is changes in connections between nerve cells in the brain causing  death of many cells.

- Japanese diet; useful for slowing or maintaining cognitive function. Followed 69 patients for 30 months. Ate  vegetables, and fish, some fruit and very little sugar, and used Mini-Mental State Examination. Noticeable difference at 12th months and more apparent at the 30th month. Intervention group preserved or even showed 2 points higher scores of MMSE than the scores measured at baseline.

- Risk factors of Dementia: obesity, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and fat.

- Elizabeth Head, Aged beagles ate a diet of vitamins E, C, fruits, vegetables and two mitochondrial co-factors and/or behavioral enrichment.  Both treatments improved memory and maintained learning ability. Combination of both treatments was more efficacious than either treatment alone. Antioxidant diet reduced amyloid-β plaques in the brain.

- Overall good article with a collection of studies, interesting to see it presented this way.
