My original hypothesis that excess vitamin A may be a cause of Alzheimer's has morphed a bit. I now believe that lipid peroxidation is the principal driver and one of the primary problems with excess vitamin A is increased lipid peroxidation.
This paper supports this idea and it means that a diet "deficient" in polyunsaturated fat should prevent Alzheimer's since the only thing that can really peroxidize is polyunsaturated fat. Remove the source of the peroxidation and it doesn't occur.
