ApoE3/3 is the most common and not at high risk for memory issues.
Great to know, Tincup. Unfortunately I do have memory issues, but probably result of years of medications for chronic pain, all carrying high anticholinergic burden :evil: before I understood the inevitable consequences. Good news is that
I have noticed significant improvement, short-term memory-wise, after going off the "white stuff" - sugar & flour :D

Don't know if this exists, but I would be grateful for any other resources specific to the APOE 3/3 type.

Bigtime thanks, again!

Pretty much everything applies to E3/3. 4/4's tend to have a sensitivity to saturated fat in the diet, so 3/3's may have more latitude. Otherwise, the info in our Primer. and Bredesen's books 1 2 apply. We are patients of Steven Gundry MD and his Plant and Longevity Paradox books are linked in this post, along with much more. Much of Gundry's advice is applicable to 3/3's.
