ALZHEIMERS/DEMENTIA DEATH RATE BY COUNTRY

Posted by Lou on February 2, 2016

Interesting, no? Why are the Western countries affected mostly? Why is Russia at the bottom of the list? Putin has banned GMOs in his country. Could this be significant? I only have questions.
And look at Suriname. Their rate is 0.00%. Does that mean they do not have dementia cases in the whole country? Obviously, all neuroscientists should be packing their bags and go to Suriname.
