Re: APOE 4/4 - Wisdom on telling siblings/children
I'm in an APOE 4/4 in a large family with no family history of dementia*. I have five siblings in their 50s/60s and 2 kids in their 20's. None of them have had DNA tests as far as I can tell, but my kids must have at least one E4 and odds are most of my siblings are one E4 or worse. Here's my story...

Re: Phyllodulcin shows potential for treating Alzheimer
The study demonstrates that phyllodulcin inhibits the aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ), a main cause of AD, and decomposes existing Aβ clumps. In an animal model, phyllodulcin reduced memory impairments, decreased deposition of Aβ in the hippocampus, and minimized neuroinflammation, key factors in AD....
