Hi Andrew
"Cholesterol=Testosterone" - No! ;-)
Yes! ;-( I'm afraid so......
"Cholesterol also can contribute to the development of anti-hormone resistance because cholesterol is converted into hormones in tumor cells; therefore, these cholesterol-forming pathways are attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of prostate cancer."
There is quite a bit out there but this is a good one....

This here is a good start (Cholesterol=Testosterone) :

As far as Alzheimers here is a good start (very recent study)....The reason why it worries me is that WE KNOW that ADT may affect our bones and muscles...but we can change our diets or have additional treatment for these.
Alzheimers however is a death sentence...What do we do? How can we prevent it? What is the cure?
Heck....I have Alzheimers family history!

Late Editing:
ONCE again I find myself looking at Japan for dietary guidance (Japan should be the benchmark for Prostate/Breast Cancer Survival Strategies in my view).
Unfortunately Japan is adopting some very nasty Western dietary habits...consequently Prostate/Breast cancer rates are rising....but NOWHERE near the current Western levels.
Nevertheless......as far as Alzheimer/Dementia Death rates (per 100k pop):
USA...........45.58
UK.............24.35
Germany....13.39
Japan.........4.23
Interesting to note....Just like prostate cancer...
"Alzheimer’s rates of Japanese-Americans living in the U.S. are closer to that of Americans than to Japanese. When people move from their homeland to the United States, Alzheimer’s rates can increase dramatically..."
