All that tasty Aspartame aside, there is another factor behind the exponential jump in identified cases of Alzheimers.

Alzheimers disease has only been recongnized as such for a few decades. A certified doctor in the 1920s would have lumped it under the catch all "dimentia."

Has there really been an exponential increase in the manifestation of this disease, or are the high numbers the result of better diagnosis and record keeping?

Just a thought . . .
