No we haven’t.
We don’t prove negatives in science, or in medicine. We just know that in the studies we have performed, we have not noticed any meaningful effects and we can conclude there is likely no observable benefit to taking the drug for that purpose.
The Japanese scientist who discovered it
Data was obtained from the UK Biobank, a repository of data collected from tens of thousands of people across the United Kingdom.
It is important to remember that an observational finding like this is inherently not causational. One group of people weren’t asked to eat nuts while another was asked to not do so. Therefore, there is always the possibility that alternative explanations exist. A simple one could be: people that care more about their health tend to snack on healthier things like nuts instead of chips or sweets. And those people are less likely to be depressed.
So don’t delay, act now! Supplies are running out
I’ve been giving Bing a try, and their integration with GPT4 is pretty great as long as you’re aware that it’s not always entirely accurate.
I searched for an error code in Python and it returned an explanation of the error and the most common fixes, in plain text. With links to the stack overflow pages where those fixes were from.
The presence of chlorine does not make a chemical toxic.
Are you a chemist in the sense that you run a drug store?
Key point that this glossed over: because this drug targets the protein amyloid, it is only really effective before the point that amyloid reaches a critical level. Once this happens (the exact point is still unknown), other changes occur which leads to permanent brain damage. The drug will then no longer work to prevent the disease.
This article states that amyloid PET (brain scans to detect presence of abnormal amyloid early) is not covered by insurance, but there are new blood tests that may perform as well. My lab is working on validating these blood tests. Keep an eye on new studies being released next week on the 16th, which is the first day of the annual Alzheimers Association conference
