The facts provided by the Alzheimer's Association are quite alarming: more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, and this number is expected to reach 16 million by 2050.

With statistics like these, it's no wonder people want to do everything they can to reduce their chances. However, it's also important to note that Alzheimer's disease is only one of the potential causes of dementia. While many people use the terms interchangeably, Alzheimer's is responsible for only 50 to 70 percent of dementia cases. The misleading terminology masks a very grim fact about dementia: often, it's not caused by something scientists still struggle to understand like Alzheimer's, but rather by things masquerading as tools for good health: vaccines and prescription drugs.
In fact, the Alzheimer's Association, which publishes these statistics, is funded by Big Pharma. It's simply good business sense to want people to believe that every patient with memory loss falls under the umbrella of Alzheimer's disease, because then they can sell you drugs supposedly designed to treat it.
