The older we get, the more we start to worry about dementia. … What was I saying? Oh, yeah, dementia, a decline in our memory, thinking, figuring things out. Declining cognition. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia.
Actually, it is nothing to laugh about. The increasing elderly population makes certain it will become a big and bigger public health hazard. Our ignorance of how to prevent or treat it, or even knowing the causes for certain, makes it fair game for people to want to try anything they’ve heard might help.
Ginkgo biloba falls into that category of hope.
