[edit] Can we avoid tau proteins?
I am an average person that can not understand most of this material. What I do understand is that mice have shown us that tau protiens may increase our tendency towards Alzheimers. Is this in a particular food that I could avoid? Heinv 00:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)heinv
- Tau is a normal protein found within everyone's brain, so its not something you want to or can eliminate through diet. While it is clear that alterations to Tau such as mutations or chemical additions and changes in its regulation can cause neurodegenerative diseases, there is no definitive research about how you can change your diet to affect your chances of coming down with a neurodegenerative disease.
