Could diet affect your chances of getting Alzheimer's? New findings show a correlation between some types of gut bacteria and the advancement of the disease, writes Psychobiotic
has been previously associated with atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type-2 diabetes. Studies have shown thatexhibits pro-inflammatory effects and affects lipid metabolism, which suggests a functional relationship to APOE4.
We have known for several years now that gut microbes have an important impact on the brain. They can produce both nasty toxins and healthy short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. A diverse and well-balanced community of microbes can keep your gut lining pink and happy, welcoming nutrients while expelling pathogens. But the researchers found that a reduction in microbial diversity was associated with the development of Alzheimer's.
The study could only show associations, so it is possible that the causality goes the other way: Instead of imbalanced microbes leading to Alzheimer’s, perhaps Alzheimer’s causes certain gut bacteria to dominate. The researchers, however, speculate that some of these bacteria may be promising therapeutic targets against Alzheimer's and aging in general.
Every meal you consume changes your microbiota, with some species boosted and others diminished to accommodate the nutrients in your diet. By eating the right foods, you can simultaneously improve diversity and diminish pathogens. That means it is possible that we can control the onset and progression of Alzheimer's with diet and supplements.

Yeast screen uncovers genes involved in chromosomal mutationWhen creating a computer program, errors in the code can introduce bugs to the software. Similarly, errors in our body's genetic code, DNA, which is stored in structures known as chromosomes, can bring about mutations in the body. These mutations are the cause of many deadly diseases—including cancer. Now, researchers in Japan have shed new light on a particular type of genetic mutation: gross chromosomal rearrangement (GCR).
