Does having bipolar disorder increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease later?
There is no established link between the two diseases.
What is the connection between arthritis and nutrition?
Arthritis is an autoimmune disease. Other diseases that fall into this category are Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and Diabetes. In an autoimmune disease, the cells of the body that offer protection for some reason turn against the body. No one knows why this happens, and there is no cure for these diseases. While nutrition may be key in some arthritis patients, there is no proven link between nutrition and the cause. Some nutritionists and homeopathic health practitioners do believe, however, that the chemicals in processed foods may contribute to the cause of autoimmune diseases.

Can Crohn's disease cause diabetes?
No, Crohns is not caused by Diabetes. A study in 2007 suggested a link between the two because both are autoimmune diseases but geneticists who found the gene linking Crohns and type 1 diabetes found it to be insignificant. The overall increase in risk of disease conferred by the various genetic risk factors was between 1.2 and 1.5 times, suggesting routine testing is not worthwhile.
Is asperger and bipolar linked?
No, not necessarily. They are two very different conditions. Of course, some people with Asperger's (which is a high-functioning version of autism) can be bipolar, but most of the research I have seen about autism, and about Asperger's, does not link either condition with bipolar disorder. There has been some research that shows a correlation between certain people who have autism and some who have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder); but there again, there is no definite link between the two, and someone who has the one may not necessarily have the other.
