As a medical school professor, I teach about APOE4 -- the gene that makes you 2.5x more likely to develop Alzheimer's. We've told patients there's nothing they can do about it.

A new JAMA Network Open study of 2,157 adults just proved us wrong.

Higher meat consumption completely abolished the APOE4 dementia risk.

The data:
-> APOE4 carriers with highest meat intake: 55% lower dementia risk
-> Their typ... https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2846712

As a medical school professor, I spent years teaching that Alzheimer's is an amyloid disease. A comprehensive new review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine confirms what I now believe: Alzheimer's is a metabolic disease.

Key findings from the evidence synthesis:

-> Glucose hypometabolism appears BEFORE amyloid plaques form
-> Insulin resistance accelerates cognitive decline and tau pathol... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12986246/

1 in 3 American Teens Now Prediabetic

I teach medical students about diabetes every year. But this number stopped me cold.

1 in 3 American teenagers is now prediabetic.

CDC/NHANES data confirms 32.7% of 12-17 year olds -- an estimated 8.4 million kids -- have blood sugar in the prediabetes range. Up from 9% just two decades ago.

The strongest predictor? Not diet. Not exercise. Waist-to-... https://www.statnews.com/2025/07/09/prediabetes-in-teens-cdc-says-nearly-one-in-three-teenagers-at-risk-of-type-2-diabetes/
