Why aren't fuckers talking about this?


This is a literal breakthrough. We don't have to be old zombies, and have brains turn into mush.

Actually you don't want to brush your teeth you want to use listerine to sterilize your mouth and then brush. The brushing part opens pathways to your brain for the bacteria to travel in.

>In conclusion, we have designed an orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant Kgp inhibitor currently being tested in human clinical studies for AD. The present data indicate that treatment with a potent and selective Kgp inhibitor will reduce P. gingivalis infection in the brain and slow or prevent further neurodegeneration and accumulation of pathology in AD patients.

It only slows down the pathology of Alzheimer's. The research doesn't provide evidence that it causes it or it is the cure. Once you have neurodegeneration, you ain't getting those neurons back boiii.

Most people are just to green to realize that scientists CHECK for a lot of the things that they, sitting in their armchairs, believe the scientists missed. If you read the papers yourself, then you can poke holes. Otherwise you can sit down and shut up.

what an ebin pleb. the objectively correct method of dental hygiene would be this.
>Rinse with water quickly
>Second rinse with water
>Now, vigorous gushes with water. this step is to clear the molars of loosely stuck food.
>Listerine for 60 seconds
>Brush with paste, 3 minutes, proper technique
>think about that technique, you got it really spot on, Anon, feel it getting in there, then get that gumline, that's fucking sexy right there
>floss meticulously. even way in the back there. make sure you've prepared the corners of your mouth for this by applying Burts Bees Lip Balm throughout the day.
>Brush a second time, this time for 2 minutes. This step is especially important; here you need to agitate the gums to uproot those Alzheimers-causing microbes. a light, quick stroke really stimulates the gums in a sensual way
>listerine again. 75 seconds. as you do this your rate of breathing should go up as you near the climax. monitor your heart rate and make sure it does not exceed 180 BPM
>finally, the release. spit out the listerine
>rinse with water, slowly

You don't dislocated nasty shit shit onto a piece of floss. If you brush first you can spit it out like a loogie. It goes brush, floss, mouthwash. If you don't use mouthwash, you have halitosis 100%. I actually haven't been flossing lately and I'm brushing too hard again. Gotta get back on top of shit. My oral hygiene routine is the best indicator of my progress is life.

you seem to think a toothbrush gets out food stuck between the teeth. It doesn't. It can never

>> No.10329034

>>10329010
That's not even why you should floss.
Plaque builds up between the gum and the tooth, which is almost impossible to remove without flossing/scraping. Brushing just won't do it.
If any of you want proof, let your mouth fester for a while then go take a pick and pull the gum away from the tooth.

Alzheimer's clearly has an immunological component, amaloid plaque formation is correlated with infectious insult. Every fucking week some study comes out that correlates Alzheimer's with some random ass bacteria or virus or whatever the fuck and everyone flips their shit thinking that the cause of Alzheimer's has been discovered. Remember a few months ago when everybody was PCRing herpes simplex virus DNA out of beta-amaloid plaques? This is the disadvantage of the massive datasets provided by EMR systems - its even easier to make spurious connections.
