Verbatim
“What we found was really striking. Even in people who had only just begun noticing mild memory changes, there were clear shifts in both their gut bacteria and the metabolites they release into the bloodstream.”
“Crucially, the chemical changes in the volunteers' blood were strongly linked to differences in specific gut bacteria. This adds weight to growing evidence that the so‑called gut-brain axis -- the communication network between our digestive system and the brain -- may play an important role in cognitive ageing.”
“Early detection is critical because by the time dementia symptoms become obvious, much of the brain damage has already happened.”
“Dementia is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time.”
