Even Ars Technica has finally figured it out.

"To make matters worse, it turned out that much of that confidence in amyloid-β as the one true cause was built on fake data."

An article in STAT (2019, by Sharon Begley), discussed this. The author of that article passed away, but she was, IMHO, spot on.

(Note that there are folks who disagree with me (and these two aricles). )

A study has found that glycogen plays an important part in Alzheimer's Disease. It has previously been ignored as it was known to be stored in liver cells and and muscles. But now it has been found in brain cells in the past where small amounts have been beneficial. However now it is understood that it can accumulate and lead to the production of tau proteins. By breaking the glycogen down it may help to prevent Alzheimer's.

I’ve absolutely loved “How Not to Study a Disease: The Story of Alzheimer’s” by Prof. Karl Herrup, so if you’d like to read a bit more in-depth about that, check out my latest post:

The #BloodBrainBarrier, a network of blood vessels and tissues that nurtures and protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the blood—is disrupted in #AlzheimerDisease. Now, researchers at #MayoClinic and collaborators have uncovered unique #molecular signatures of blood-brain barrier #dysfunction that could point to new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.

"Gut bacteria may play a role in cognitive decline"

"constipated participants (bowel movements every three days or more) had significantly worse cognition, equivalent to 3.0 years more of chronological cognitive aging.
[…]
A novel connection between gut bacteria and Alzheimer's biomarkers
[…]
They found individuals with poorer cognition had lower levels of Clostridium and Ruminococcus."
