Is there less Alzheimer's in cultures that don't eat bread (e.g. where rice or potatoes are a staple instead)?
Maybe in bread heavy cultures it's not a widespread issue because the majority of people have evolved some kind of resistance?
- ejolto 5y agoYou tend to get Alzheimer's after you are done having children, so resistance wouldn't evolve.
