Copper transport drug restores memory and clears toxic Alzheimer's proteins

btw definitely related and seems significant:

they found people who use glucosamine (joint pain, knees etc)

have a 25% higher chance of Alzheimer's progression

(still can't figure out if that website is "AI" but they have great articles)

note this is only the case for those with early-stage cognitive decline. for healthy individuals, it actually has neuroprotective effects.

> Glucosamine mimicked the effects of a low-carbohydrate diet in a prior animal research, resulting in increased lifespan [21], and studies consistently showed that a low-carbohydrate diet protects against dementia [22, 23]. An animal study suggested that glucosamine may promote cognitive function by impacting energy metabolism [20]; other animal models have indicated the neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory effects of glucosamine

Yep it's all AI-generated. It's annoying that they have a fake human as the author but whatever, it's the interslop.

"Alzheimer’s is driven by the buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid-beta."

That's the predominant theory, but nothing affecting them has yet proven to be efficacious so far (AFAIK).

Likewise, at one time everyone "knew" aluminum was a culprit, because it showed up in autopsy analyses of affected people. However, it turned out that correlation wasn't from aluminum causing it, so avoiding aluminum didn't affect the disease.
