Alzheimer’s disease drugs now being tested in clinical trials may have potentially adverse side effects, according to new Northwestern Medicine research. A study with mice suggests the drugs could act like a bad electrician, causing neurons to be miswired and interfering with their ability to send messages to the brain.

The Beta Amyloid connection, covered in the attached article, is a direct result of the consumption of synthetic and chemically made (does not exist in nature in the form produced) High Fructose Corn Syrup, at any level, and there is a direct correlation in the increased amounts of deadly and obesity causing HFCS, in the majority of processed food and beverages, from the early 1970’s, with the alarming increase of Alzheimer’s and Dementia in the population also.

If you’re over 50, chances are you’ve begun to notice some memory loss. Even in perfectly healthy adults with exceedingly active brains, the hippocampus – a part of the brain important to the formation of memories – begins to atrophy around the age of 55.

Contrary to popular belief, dementia is not a normal part of the aging process. The condition, which most often plays itself out in the form of Alzheimer’s disease, is an abnormal neurological condition that is likely caused by a combination of factors, including but not limited to things like fluoride in the water, artificial chemicals in food, and mercury and aluminum in vaccines — but the establishment medical and scientific community will never admit this.

Read several books on this subject in both the food and technical reading sections of this web site. Dementia and Alzheimer’s ( formally only occurring in very advanced aged persons and known as senility) are a direct result of lack of healthy fat and oils in the daily diet, correct nutrient absorption from unprocessed food and beverages, as well as harmful prescription drugs usage -like from statin and cholesterol drugs (because HFCS/Corn Sugar is flooding the food and beverage chain that cause high triglycerides as well as high HDL).
