Bacterial toxins and metabolites in the blood of Alzheimer's patients can stunt the growth of new nerve cells.new study
Alzheimer’s is an intractable disease that afflicts one in nine people over the age of 65. It leads to a progressive decline in cognitive function,, and behavior. There are no cures, even after decades of research. It is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta, a protein that builds up between nerve cells in the brain and is a common target of drug treatments., and some people with dementia do not have amyloid beta in their brains.
Alzheimer’s research has long suffered from low expectations and failure, so this is a heartening breakthrough. The study used rats, so it awaits clinical confirmation, but it demonstrates causality, and cross-species causality to boot. Over the last 75 years, the consumption of ultra-processed foods has gone from essentially zero to 60 percent of our diet today. Today’s foods are more manufactured than grown.
