MCTs For Alzheimer’s & MCI: A Tiny Keto Lifeline For Tired Brain Cells:
I think we can all agree that despite what we see in the supermarket checkout-lines,

Fad Diets are bullshit.

As a matter-of-fact, most diets are bullshit.

What matters is getting the right number and type of calories, even if your count is iffy.

That and regular Cardio exercise, for about 100 reasons.

But then, all-of-a-sudden, Sherbrooke U.’s Center On Aging comes along and kicks the crap out of that theory, in a very specific way…

Mushrooms & Cognitive Decline. Could Odd Nutrition Help?:
SCIENCE! cured Polio, but it hasn’t solved all the health problems out there yet.

Hence, all the nutbar alternative therapies that can at-times have a spotty record.

So until the time a company like Biogen finally cures Alzheimer’s,

Researchers are left trying to find any good habits associated with better-outcomes.

And in a mix of folksy-sounding ancient medicine coupled to new research that may confirm old suspicions,

A Singapore team may have found yet another thing you can do to try to stave-off cognitive-decline before it happens…

Alzheimer’s & Gum Disease, Revenge Of The Dentists!:
When medicine doesn’t seem to work as well as it should,

Lots of people go looking for all kinds of crazy anecdotes on the internet.

That’s where you get all the supplement-remedies, including the iffy ones.

Similarly, when trying to decipher an uncrackable illness,

Even Science ends up going down some pretty weird roads.

In the latest few rounds of Alzheimer’s research, it’s getting even weirder. Teams of doctors have been chasing down viruses,

And now Microbes as a possible cause and cure…

Exercise Cleans Your Brain And Clears Your Mind, Literally:
So there are many problems medicine faces that seem insurmountable.

But every day, Science seems to make a little bit more progress.

For example, some big pharma companies recently had a few failures with their Alzheimer’s drug programs and abandoned them,

But Dr. Rudy Tanzi’s team just found something very encouraging that could mean a fix for the disease, and it may start with a simple thing you keep getting nagged to do…

The Right Dose Of Alcohol May Actually “Clean” Your Brain:

Here we go again! Alcohol and the health space have an increasingly love/hate relationship, that’s becoming more hate/hate as time passes.

One study after another comes out; 2 Drinks a day is safe. Then 1. Then none. Then,

Well, to add more fuel to the fire Stanton Peele started awhile back,

A team of Danish researchers hanging out on the canals of Copenhagen getting hammered on Tuborg came up with a great new idea.

Alcohol is actually beneficial to you, and it just might reduce one of the conditions we can’t yet fix…

Canola & Alzheimer’s, Can A Seed-Based Cooking Oil Cause Pain In The Brain?:
Most of us make an effort to eat healthy, especially if you’re a regular HT visitor.

And except for excess sugar, you would think that if it’s sold at a store, it’s safe.

It usually appears that way. But that might just be for the short-run.

And since diet-studies are notoriously hard to do, it’s very difficult to know about the long-run.

But a recent Temple University test may have you reconsidering much of the processed or low-cost foods you eat, and even the way you cook…

So one miracle drug that reversed Alzheimer’s Disease in trials is something we’ve told you about before.

We’ve also told you about another miracle drug that’s a little more famous.

Well researchers at the Gladstone Institutes are throwing us another curveball that’s like a combination of the two strangely-enough.
