Myth 1: Memory loss is a natural part of aging.

Truth: Experts now recognize severe memory loss

as a symptom of serious illness. Whether

memory naturally declines to some extent

remains an open question. Many people feel that

their memory becomes less sharp as they grow

older, but determining whether there is anyscientific basis for this belief is a research

challenge still being addressed.

Myth 2: Alzheimers disease is not fatal.

Reality: Alzheimer's disease has no survivors. Itdestroys brain cells and causes memory

changes, erratic behaviors and loss of body

functions. It slowly and painfully takes away aperson's identity, ability to connect with

others, think, eat, talk, walk and find his or

her way home.

Myth 3: Only older people can get Alzheimer's

Reality: Alzheimer's can strike people in their 30s,40s and even 50s. This is called younger-onset

Alzheimer's. It is estimated that there are as many

as 5.3 million people living with

Alzh

eimersdisease in the United States. This includes 5.1

million people age 65 and over and 200,000

people under age 65 with younger-onset

Alzheimers disease.

Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or

cooking in aluminum pots and pans can leadto Alzheimers disease.

Truth: studies have failed to confirm any role

for aluminum in causing Alzheimers. Experts

today focus on other areas of research, and

few believe that everyday sources of

aluminum pose any threat.

Myth 5: Aspartame causes memory loss.

Truth: According to the FDA, as of May 2006,the agency had not been presented with any

scientific evidence that would lead to change

its conclusions on the safety of aspartame for

most people. The agency says its conclusions

are based on more than 100 laboratory and

clinical studies.
