Congratulations on the coming baby! My elder daughter is about to have my first grandchild... so I share your excitement.
You will get used to the flavor and grow to like it, but in the meantime, that is a good approach. Just make sure you work the baking soda into the gums between your gums and teeth and also floss it in between... they like to hide there, too. DO IT for your children, so you'll be around and aware for their babies.
Thanks! And congratulations to you!
Researchers and pharma companies have tried to attack this disease by reducing amyloid plaques, but inflammation may be the real culprit.
To investigate whether IL-1 might play a role in Lewy body pathology seen in Alzheimer's, we tested the role of IL-1 in alpha-synuclein fiber production using three methods: in tissue culture, in IL-1-pellet implanted rat brains, and in brain slices from Alzheimer’s patients. All three methods gave the same results, showing that IL-1 overexpression was associated with increased production of alpha-synuclein
