Was it necessary to put the picture of Michael J. Fox with this article? I bet you could have found something else if you weren't into sensationalizing most of your stories. Shame on you!

What's the problem? You want a picture of someone with Alzheimer's? Michael J. Fox's face has become iconic regarding health news. Seems perfectly appropriate to me.

Why does a picture of Alex Keaton accompany an article about food choices & Alzheimer's?
He has Parkinson'­s....they'­re not the same thing...

I was thinking the same thing, but then i read the article and it talked about research into Parkinson's, which Michael J Fox has, and alzheimers. Essentially the conclusion of the study seems to be that there may be a link in the cause of both diseases, and perhaps other mental illnesses related to diet and environment
