JOURNAL ENTRY #54: Dementia risk linked to over the counter meds

As if it couldn't get any worse, a study has linked Benadryl and a number of over-the-counter medications to dementia.  The focus appears to be on sleep aids.  I have provided two links to articles on it.  A few doctors (mostly the ones that favor holistic treatments) have linked foods and even some medications to dementia and Alzheimer's.  I see their point.  Recently I have wondered of the things that are the market contribute to dementia and other ailments.  Something interesting in the articles I read pertaining to this is that a side effect with each is memory loss.
