The precise mechanism by which people get Alzheimer's Disease is not known to medical science. There are a number of theories. It may be related to prions (a similar disease, Creuzfeldt-Jaacob Disease, is known to be caused by prions), it may involve aluminum poisoning or other forms of metal toxicity, or it may involve nothing more than the wearing out of an aging brain.

See related links for an interview with Dr. Colm Kelleher author of "Brain Trust: The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease" recorded November 16, 2004. Video is about 1 hour long but well worth the time.
Dying for a Hamburger presents strong evidence that Alzheimer's disease is caused by the same agent that causes mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE), variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), and a host of other neurodegenerative diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Dying For a Hamburger now presents compelling evidence that Alzheimer's disease has become epidemic due to
modern meat-packing practices.

I doubt it. It sure can make you feel like you've got alzheimers if you take a lot. LOL
There is currently no treatment to cure alzheimers. There are drugs that may help with a few of the symptoms but won't cure it.
Alzheimers is a type of dementia so you can not really compare the two.However alzheimers is a very agressive disease so therefore i would consider it to be the worst of the two.
