Two things. First, a fast-mimicking diet helped and is okay in Alzheimer’s patients. Second, damage found in Alzheimer’s appears to primarily be from superoxide, which can be supplemented with small amounts of taurine, according to a prior posted study.
Some hopeful news for a terrible disease!

That prior study:
Study shows that the amino acid taurine could be used in anti-aging therapy

To best create the several needed forms, be sure to get 100% of the US RDA for manganese, zinc, and copper, which together create two needed forms of SOD.

Superoxide dismutase, which taurine helps create, directly quenches superoxide, a major free-radical, in our bodies.

First, the fast-mimicking diet helps with reducing Alzheimer’s issues, nearly back to normal, as this study states, for only some markers. This is a diet you can look up, but it is a low calorie diet for several days, followed by a more normal diet, then cycling through it, again.
The use of taurine to create superoxide dismutase (SOD) is mentioned in that link. There are several forms of SOD our bodies need, and one requires manganese (just 100% of the US RDA a day) and the other requires copper and zinc (again, just 100% of the US RDA).
The taurine study used 500 mg of powder three times a day, but said doubling that likely would increase the SOD creation, which, in light of this Alzheimer’s study, would eliminate sone if the excess superoxide generation Alzheimer’s appears to create.

Works on mice? Mice and rats are very similar so your saying there may be a cure for Biden coming?

That taurine study used 500 mg three times a day, equalling 1,500 mg of taurine in a day. This increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) by over 20% in study participants over the 16 weeks it was given.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the major reducer of the superoxide radical in our bodies, which the Alzheimer’s study says caused damage from Alzheimer’s.
There is more to read at that link and on the link to the original write up at Medical Xpress.

How do you tell if a mouse has Alzheimer’s?

It has always been about diet and exercise. All the studies in the world and all the pills in China will not change the fact that if you eat right and exercise every day you will have a good life.

It has always been about diet and exercise. Amen. Both of which few want to actually do (including myself) hence the drive to find a shortcut.
However, since menopause hit and all the attendant symptoms including weight gain, I decided F this. It took three or so months but dropped about 23 pounds with ... wait for it ... diet and exercise ... now at 133 lbs. and into my high school Levi 501s.
Was it a pain in the nads? Yes. But I wanted the size 6 more than I wanted the very transitory bliss of eating something I shouldn't.

Third, this is just a mouse study.

They did a small study with human patients to see if Alzheimer’s patients could handle a fast-mimicking diet, and they could.

Sure, it’s easy to forget that you haven’t eaten...
