Episode notes
Cut Soft Drinks And Read Labels
- Avoid artificially sweetened soft drinks and check processed food labels because many contain hidden sweeteners linked to health risks.
- Limit soft drink intake as phosphoric acid in them may harm bone health and increase fracture risk.
Early Blood Tests Transform Alzheimer's Strategy
- Early blood tests like P-tau can predict Alzheimer's risk years before symptoms and enable preventive interventions.
- Combining genetic APOE4 testing with lifestyle changes and emerging drugs offers real potential to delay or reverse early disease.
Help Stressed Kids With Structure Not Snacks
