I've just added a rewrite of the Introduction at Wikipedia. I happened to write the current-consensus intro there (as it was originally mostly 'technical' and as an editor I favour "general reader" language), so it was difficult for me to do it completely differently (which I'd have liked) - but I think I've made some language improvements though, going through it again. I've turned some of it into new sections, which will hopefully encourage further editing.

Curry?

There have been a number of things published about curry or tumeric and AD. The one I recall & was searching for claimed India and Pakistan had much lower rates of AD than other nations and scientists were looking for the reasons, with food as the prime suspect.

The one I found has a study showing effects in mice: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/5436618/Curry-may-prevent-Alzheimers-disease-expert-says.html
