While we don’t know the exact cause of Alzheimer’s, all evidence suggests it has something to do with the buildup of toxic tau proteins in the brain that affect cognitive function. The theory is that avoiding this protein accumulation can stave off neurodegenerative diseases, and that the brain can even be cleansed of these toxins to restore cognitive function. A recent New Atlas article noted that a team at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine may have a solution in the form of an experimental drug that supercharges the natural cellular cleaning mechanism.
