Hopeful Alzheimer's News

We last blogged on Alzheimer's treatments about a year or so ago, with this unlikely news:

"Maple syrup isn't just delicious, it could also cure Alzheimer's disease"

Blueberries made an appearance, too.

Fast forward to now, and we learn about promising research being done in Israel :

"A protein dubbed SIRT6 is almost completely absent in Alzheimer’s disease patients and this deficiency likely contributes to its onset"

Using mouse as human stand-ins, researchers are trying to lock this connection down.

Promising.
