We All Get Older, We Don't All Get Grown.

I just read an article recently that claims that herpes may be a cause of Alzheimer's disease. No joke. Some British researchers found a strong connection between HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus 1) and Alzheimer's cases. "I estimate that about 60 percent of Alzheimer's cases could be caused by the virus." said neurobiologist Ruth Itzhaki, Ph. D. How it works theoretically, is that as we age HSV-1, actually spreads to our brains, where in certain people, it can cause buildup deposits- known as amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles- that attack and destroy the cells responsible for memory, language, and physical functions...in short those people develop Alzheimer's.

WHAT!? How crazy is that? If this is true, i'm sure there are tons of people out there who are regretting their choices on Halloween night. Slutty Costumes + Alcohol + Bad decisions = Alzheimer's disease. Who would've thought? That just goes to show you kiddies, show some prudence, your mind depends on it...literally.
