Vasectomies Linked to Dementia?

by Roberta Murphy

Forgive me. Weekend mornings allow time to look over news and tidbits of interest. And sometimes these findings have absolutely nothing to do with real estate and luxury homes, but may have much to do with quality of life.

This mornings strange discovery arose from a personal and abiding interest in brain research. You see, we lost my mother several years ago to Alzheimers Disease and she died last May. The questions of how and why and what could have/can be done to prevent and treat this crippler still haunts this daughter. Edith Michelson was a smart, beautiful and health-wise real estate broker, who would have rather been a fighter against the disease instead of its victim.

This mornings startling discovery arrived from Cognitive Labs , which describes Northwestern Universitys research into the connection. It appears that vasectomies are not directly related to Alzheimers, but rather to another form of male dementia. Its an interesting read that results in some amusing commentary about going from œshooting blanks to drawing blanks.
