Roanoke Times, 1-31-12, Pg E1: Almost full page exposé:
"Alzheimer’s – how to make sure you’re not next"
-
Apparently the Editorial Girls at the Roanoke Times and their associate at the Orlando Sentinel have MD credentials in addition to their journalism credentials that empower them to tell the public “how to make sure you’re not next”! How comforting is that! Are these charlatan’s subject to lawsuits if their readers follow their instructions and then get Alzheimer’s? Could their medical licenses then be in jeopardy?
-
Apparently they are in conflict with the published position that, according to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most knowledgeable institutions about health issues: “While the causes of Alzheimer's are not yet fully understood, its effect on the brain is clear.”

Of particular focus are the amounts of: iron, copper and zinc (all of which are included in the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) posted by the US Government). No reason for concern there!
-
The headline claim: “how to make sure you’re not next to get Alzheimer’s” represents a new personal best in the category of chutzpa and false advertising.
If a company ran an ad that made these claims the Editorial Girls would be at the front of the line demanding retractions and legal actions.
