I have thought that Alzheimer’s was caused by a prion, similar to the prion that causes mad cow.

Maybe this is the mechanism by which these extracts work ... they’re used as food preservatives....

Lipid Peroxidation Inhibition: These extracts can also inhibit lipid peroxidation, a process that leads to rancidity and deterioration of fats.

Yes, I believe a UCSF group discovered that a succession of two specific prions is associated with Alzheimer’s. More recent research indicates that the body’s immune reaction to the prions might be more closely associated with forming Alzheimer’s plaque.
