...Drinking contaminated water (click here) is one of the main causes of diarrheal disease, which results in 1.5 million deaths each year in children under the age of 5. mWater’s preliminary work testing over 100 water sources in Mwanza, Tanzania’s second largest city and one of the fastest growing urban centers in East Africa, found fecal contamination in 90% of shallow dug wells and springs. Many of these sources were only a short distance from safer piped water kiosks. In a baseline survey, mWater found water users choose from up to three water sources each day. The organization believes that more information about the safety of water sources will encourage people to make safer water choices....
With a demographics that drastic, in a medical condition many Americans believe they inherit, more REAL investigation is necessary. As soon as I looked at that graph and realized the recent study about contaminated water, it all came together. Heavy metals. The Third World nations have more problems with water contamination than any First World country. The demographics of the third world countries are not skewed by early detection and/or better medical institutions.
Lead in paint. Copper in water.
Water quality. Interesting.
There may be a real correlation between family members in the incidence of the disease because at some point in time the children and adults are all exposed to the same water source.

Drinking tap water (click here) containing trace levels of copper may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, say scientists.
Researchers believe copper combined with cholesterol may prevent the brain removing a protein which produces the brain-clogging plaques associated with Alzheimer's.
The tap water link emerged from a study of rabbits fed a high cholesterol diet.
It has long been known that rabbits fed a cholesterol-rich diet develop many of the features of Alzheimer's, leading researchers to use them as a model for studying the disease.
But two US scientists noticed that cholesterol-fed rabbits given distilled water to drink developed fewer amyloid beta plaques than those drinking tap water....
