All of the original data around amloyd-beta protein data was faked. A lot of it was even just outright photoshopped. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/faked-beta-amyloid...


Amyloid beta may not cause alzheimer's disease, but you still don't want amyloid beta plaques in your brain. They may not themselves be causing damage but they are almost definitely a sign of damage to the brain, so anything that appears to increase them should be handled with extreme caution.


That seems like an extremely oversimplified summary of the article you've linked to.


FFS. I forgot about that.
