    This could be a BIG deal.

    "If you bled when you brushed your teeth this morning, you might want to
    get that seen to. We may finally have found the long-elusive cause of Alzheimer’s disease: Porphyromonas gingivalis, the key bacteria in
    chronic gum disease.

    That’s bad, as gum disease affects around a third of all people. But the
    good news is that a drug that blocks the main toxins of P. gingivalis is entering major clinical trials this year, and research published today
    shows it might stop and even reverse Alzheimer’s. There could even be a vaccine."
