 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 any scientific basis for this belief is a research challenge still being addressed.

 Myth 2: Alzheimer s disease is not fatal. Reality: Alzheimer's disease has no survivors. It destroys brain cells and causes memory changes, erratic behaviors and loss of body functions. It slowly and painfully takes away a person'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 Alzheimer s disease in the United States. This includes 5.1 million people age 65 and over and 200,000 people under age 65 with younger-onset Alzheimer s disease.

 Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer s disease. Truth: studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer s. 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.
