Low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association.People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, while low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association, according to a new study. Those who consumed 50 grams per day or more of high-fat cheese daily – roughly a third of a cup – had a lower overall risk of dementia, vascular dementia, a form of cognitive decline caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, according to the 25-year Swedish study of nearly 28,000 people published in Neurology, the...

Does this look legit? Alzheimer's Reversal??? +++++++++ WHAT'S WRONG: Your family member has Alzheimer's disease. This is a brain sickness that makes people forget things and get confused. It happens because parts of the brain stop working right. THE GOOD NEWS: +++++++++ Scientists just found new ways to help fix the brain. We now have a plan that uses three different medicines that work together to help the brain get better. HOW THE TREATMENT WORKS: +++++++++ Think of the brain like a house with three problems: PROBLEM 1: The lights are dim The brain cells don't have enough energy Medicine...

Published in the medical journal Neurology, researchers found that participants who were more active during a specific window of the day had an increased risk of dementia, a condition characterized by declines in memory, language, reasoning and problem-solving skills. Guided by the brain and influenced by light exposure, circadian rhythm is a roughly 24-hour cycle that determines when we become sleepy and when we’re more alert. In addition to regulating sleep and wake cycles, it also regulates hormones, body temperature and digestion.

Furious over the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of an ICE agent in Minneapolis, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura slammed President Donald Trump as a “draft-dodging coward” who has “destroyed the Constitution.” Ventura, an independent, former wrestler and Vietnam veteran, was at his high school alma mater Thursday to show support for it after ICE descended on the school the same day Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent. “He’s the draft dodging coward, who when it was his time to serve his country, he did what all rich white boys did. I wasn’t a...

A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon. Research by scientists provides novel insights into the mechanisms that regulate brain blood flow and highlights a potential therapeutic strategy to correct vascular dysfunction. Their preclinical findings suggest that adding a missing phospholipid back into a person's circulatory system could restore normal brain blood flow and reduce symptoms of dementia. Alzheimer's disease and related dementias affect 50 million people around the world and numbers are rising, placing immense burdens on families and health care systems. Research in the Harraz lab focused on the control...

Scientists have reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice, potentially showing a pathway to treat the illness among humans, according to a Dec. 22 peer-reviewed study published in the Cell Reports Medicine journal.Alzheimer’s is traditionally considered irreversible. In the study, researchers treated two groups of mice with P7C3-A20, a pharmacologic agent. One group carried human mutations related to amyloid processing, while the other carried a tau protein mutation. Both amyloid and tau pathologies are two major early events of Alzheimer’s. Researchers say that as mice develop brain pathologies resembling Alzheimer’s, they are ideal subjects to test how P7C3-A20 affects Alzheimer’s in humans....

A paper published today in the journal Cell Reports Medicine offers new hope for an Alzheimer’s drug that doesn’t just slow cognitive decline but may reverse it. The study, by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz, found that Leukine or GM-CSF, a drug long-approved to treat other conditions, was able to stop brain cells from dying in Alzheimer’s patients when measured in a blood test. Brain cell death is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. “The main thing that we found…is that the people who were treated with Leukine or GM-CSF actually lost the ability to kill their nerve cells…to...

Ahh yes, the study the cheeseheads have been looking for! Rejoice!

Earlier today I brought you this massive report that President Trump just declared all Biden actions signed with the Autopen NULL and VOID. That is estimated to be 92% of everything he did. Not just Executive Orders, and that’s what I want to unpack right now. Here was our original report in case you missed it: BREAKING: President Trump JUST Cancelled ALL Biden Autopen Actions — Perjury Charges! But now let's examine what all is suddenly at stake... It's actually quite large, but let's focus on two big areas. First up, Supreme Court Justice appointments. And how many did Biden...

Older adults who regularly listen to or play music appear to have significantly lower risks of dementia and cognitive decline. The data suggests that musical engagement could be a powerful, enjoyable tool for supporting cognitive resilience in aging.

Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted President Donald Trump’s overseas strikes on alleged drug boats “insane” and not something “civilized people” do. Paul joined Glenn Greenwald on the System Update podcast where he called out Trump and his Republican colleagues over US strikes against alleged drug boats in South American waters. Paul accused Republicans of supporting actions they would be up in arms over if a Democrat were in office.

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from...

Partial transcript as follows: BRIANNA KEILAR: According to my colleague Jake Tapper, who wrote a book with Alex Thompson, looking back on that, cabinet secretaries were telling them that Biden wasn’t up to the task of the proverbial 2 a.m. phone call.
