In the next three minutes, three people will develop Alzheimers disease. Two of them will be women. Perhaps in the next decade it will become the norm for middle aged women to receive preventive testing and treatment for Alzheimers disease,  just as they get mammograms today. In the meantime, research shows that diet can alleviate and mitigate the effects of menopause in women which could minimize the risk of Alzheimers.
