“Asthma has also been associated with approximately 20 to 33 percent greater odds of receiving a new Alzheimer's disease diagnosis over two years. Together, the evidence illustrates Davidson's larger point that "mental" and "physical" processes cannot be cleanly separated.”

“This 2023 review describes evidence suggesting that APOE4, a gene associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease later in life, confers resistance to gut infections in children – a robust contributor to high childhood mortality.”

“Aggregated proteins play a role in cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease.”

“A large clinical trial is underway. The trial, which includes six medical centers across the country, involves more than 600 older adults (ages 60-85) at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.”

“This may have implications for not only for neurological conditions such as autism (which 4 clinical trials have already shown sulforaphane may help improve) but also for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease as well as traumatic brain injury.”

“Amyloid-beta is a toxic peptide that aggregates and forms plaques in the brain with age. These plaques are widely considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that occurs with age and is the most common cause of dementia.”

“It also aligns with other research showing that people who follow the MIND diet, which emphasizes the consumption of magnesium-rich green leafy vegetables, were 40 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Read full publication.”

“The adverse effects were stronger in women who had the APOE4 gene, a genetic variation that increases the risk for Alzheimer's. Air collected over the 10 Freeway in Los Angeles led to 60% more brain amyloid plaque in mice.”

“Check out my podcast with Dr. Laukkanen who discusses this study and his other studies showing frequent sauna use is associated with a 50% lower heart disease incidence, a 40% lower all-cause mortality, and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease risk.”

“Sulforaphane, which is high in broccoli sprouts, clears away brain amyloid plaques and tau tangles and ameliorated memory defects in mice engineered to get Alzheimer's disease. The sulforaphane also increased heat shock proteins in the brain.”
