In this conversation, Max and Matt discuss the Alzheimer’s fraud that derailed research for decades, the recently debunked chemical imbalance theory, the powerful forces responsible for misleading the public on health, and why it’s important to question the establishment.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Alzheimer’s Disease is a deadly neurological condition that affects +5 million people in the United States alone, and there are no meaningful treatments currently on the market.
About 60% of the calories that the average American consumes comes from ultra-processed food products (associated with early mortality and increased risk for dementia); there are very powerful forces working to mislead the public on food and health education.
Lifestyle modification in the areas of diet and exercise has shown to be a powerful antidepressant, but this takes greater effort than taking a pill from the medicine cabinet.
The Amyloid Hypothesis suggests that excessive plaque build-up in the brain causes Alzheimer’s, however, new studies indicate that plaque build-up is not causal.
In 2022, an investigation revealed that all of the data from the 2006 amyloid-beta study was fraudulent, and found that amyloid-beta is a symptom, but not the cause of Alzheimer’s.
And so much more!
