How Can Sun Screens Cause Alzheimer's?

Some researchers are suggesting that a key contributor to Alzheimer's may be insufficient cholesterol in the brain. Studies have shown that serum levels of cholesterol and the ability to synthesize cholesterol are inversely associated with mental decline in the elderly.
There are now indications that depletion of sulfate supply to the brain is another important contributor to Alzheimer's. Sulfate may be supplied to the brain principally by sterol sulfates like cholesterol sulfate, as well as their derivatives like vitamin D3 sulfate. Both cholesterol sulfate and vitamin D3 sulfate are synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight.
According to MIT senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff:
"This is why I believe that excess sunscreen use and excess sun avoidance are another principal causative factor in Alzheimer's disease."
She also pointed to cholesterol-depleting statin drugs and aluminum in flu shots as other contributing causes.
