Possible cure for Alzheimer's?

[Black Aeronaut]

Well, from what I read in the article, the correlation is a powerful one.  The caveat they did have in there was actually the reverse - that while just about everyone who had Gingivitis had some signs of plaques forming on their neurons, not all of them actually had Alzheimer's.  But it's more of a 'covering our ass' kind of statement, leaving them a bit of wiggle room because it can take decades before the accumulations have any real effect.

So basically, they're saying, "Alzheimer's Disease certainly seems to be caused by Gum Disease, but Gum Disease by itself doesn't always cause Alzheimer's.  In fact, you may pass away of natural causes before it becomes an issue for you."
