Bacteria causing gum disease were found in the brains of 96% of people with Alzheimer's disease and associated with worse pathology.

“gum disease it turns out increases your risk for I believe it's Alzheimer's and also for cognitive brain health in general”

“P and jaalis is being linked to Alzheimer's and Dementia you know these bacteria end up in the brain they cross the bloodb brain barrier and they create amalo plaques and inflammation in the brain and so there's been studies many studies now one big one was out of Harvard where they sampled the cerebral spinal fluid in the brains and saw that in these plaques they had pin jaalis of Almost 100% of the patients and when they tested them against other patients who had passed away without Dementia or Alzheimer's they didn't see any pin jaalis”

“and it's not only gum disease but just any oral infection and P and jaalis is being linked to Alzheimer's and Dementia you know these bacteria end up in the brain they cross the bloodb brain barrier and they create amalo plaques and inflammation in the brain and so there's been studies many studies now one big one was out of Harvard where they sampled the cerebral spinal fluid in the brains and saw that in these plaques they had pin jaalis of Almost 100% of the patients and when they tested them against other patients who had passed away without Dementia or Alzheimer's they didn't see any pin jaalis”

“Periodontal disease shows up 10 to 20 years before cognitive symptoms in people who later develop Alzheimer's.”

“In 2019 Cortexyme published a paper in Science Advances showing Porphyromonas gingivalis, the bacterium behind gum disease, was present in over 90% of postmortem Alzheimer's brains. They also found its DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid of living Alzheimer's patients.”

“now that it’s a possible cause of Alzheimer’s.”

“there have been studies that have come out recently linking P gingivalis so bacteria in the mouth P gingivalis to Alzheimer's they actually find antibodies and perhaps even finding P gingivalis in the brain of people with Alzheimer's”

“and other things alzheimer's for example amyloid in the brain and a few studies that we did uh showed uh markers as well periodontal disease and markers of alzheimer's”

“The bacteria that cause gum disease (gingivitis) was found in the brains of 96% of people with Alzheimer's disease and was associated with worse disease pathology.”
