Reuters - Bayer's Alzheimer's disease (AD) marker florbetaben was shown to help detect the illness in eight out of 10 cases in a Phase II study, possibly offering a way to diagnose early onset. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

Great!! We can diagnose it earlier and perhaps treat...but what causes it? Are there environmental agents, poor nutrtion, not enough exercise for body and brain that are causes for people developing AD? I am a nurse and see the sadness and horror involved with this phenomena in both the person and their families. Wouldnt it be better to discover what causes it and then teach the younger generation how to prevent it all together?
