Gum disease bug linked to Alzheimer’s

https://www.scotsman.com/news/gum-disease-bug-linked-to-alzheimer-s-in-breakthrough-1-4861467

Above is a signpost to a very interesting piece of research where a link has been proven between gum disease and Alzheimer's disease.

There have been previous suggestions that gum disease may play a role in Alzheimer’s, but the latest study by a US-led international team of scientists appears to put the link beyond question.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts as always.

Have a great weekend everybody and I will see you all on Thursday at 13.50 in 2004.

All the best,

Mark

  1. This is shocking to say the least. The body is indeed a machine and seems everything is linked. More should be done then I suppose to tackle dental problems earlier on in life, if this will lessen the impact of Alzheimer's on the society in general or as they say, " change the trajectory of the disease"..Interesting read. Thanks Mark.
