Gut molecule linked to raised Alzheimer's risk, study finds

Original: Your gut may be making a molecule that raises Alzheimer’s risk

New research reported by ScienceDaily suggests that a molecule produced by gut bacteria may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The finding adds to growing evidence that the gut microbiome influences brain health, pointing to a possible gut-brain connection in the development of dementia. Scientists say the discovery could open new avenues for prevention or treatment, though more work is needed to confirm the link in humans.

Why now: Fresh scientific research linking gut bacteria to Alzheimer's risk is drawing attention to the gut-brain connection.
