You might want to check out this article in Discover Magazine, A Nicotine Pill Could Help Dementia Patients. I think it's scary and awesome, the lengths to which we'll go to develop a pill... studies have suggested rats can concentrate better after they've been injected with nicotine. But of course, many of nicotine's other side effects are bad.
Naysayers are suggesting we could all avoid dementia by eating whole foods and generally having a better diet. Which is a great idea. Next time I'm at the library, remind me to visit the cooking section. I don't think hot dogs fall under the "whole foods" category.
