What I can say is that I was exposed to pharmaceutical studies for about 25 years. You would not believe the conflicting studies I was presented with.

As I noted in an earlier post I have a bit of experience here...both working for a neuropathologist as well as many years working with neurosurgeons,trauma surgeons and neurologists.This is an issue for medical research,just as surely as cancer,heart disease and other ailments are.If a number of respected researchers/research groups work on this issue and come up with similar findings then we can safely conclude that their findings are accurate.Repeated brain injuries of a particular type...those seen in football...hockey....boxing...car accidents..either do,or do not,result in the premature onset of certain disorders.

I'm not here to be argumentative with you. I am trying to shed light on the fact that the incidence of Alzheimer's increased markedly in the last decade, 68% LINK in the decade alone, and it is projected to nearly triple by 2050.

Does your insider knowledge tell you this is not relevant?

Is it your assumption that only boxers, football players, and other contact sports players are accounting for all this?

A broad spectrum of the public is contracting this illness.

One factoid that should speak volumes to you, is that approximately 66% of those contracting Alzheimer's are women.

How many women boxers and football players are you aware of?

The danger of working on the inside, is that sometimes everyone forgets to look on the outside. That's all I'm saying here. Yes, you are seeing what you believe is a direct result, because you see this population base. I'm not arguing there isn't an increase. There is across the board. It's not just athletes or those with impact injuries at all.
