"Daily Medical Point, Healthy Companion" has unhealthy teeth and can lead to Alzheimer's disease
Studies have shown that unhealthy teeth can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Morita Gaku, a scientist at Okayama University in Japan, and others cut off part of the molars of rats so that they could not bite normally. After 8 weeks, it was found that the total amount of "Alzheimer's disease" marker ------ "β-amyloid protein" in the brain of rats rose to more than 4 times the normal level.
Dr. Stephen Dominy's team at the University of California, San Francisco, found that the bacteria that cause periodontitis can easily invade the brain, secreting harmful proteins to induce Alzheimer's disease.
Related studies have also shown that patients with chronic periodontitis have a significant decrease in cognitive performance within six months.
Therefore, the prevention of Alzheimer's disease starts with protecting the teeth!
