The cause of Alzheimer’s disease may be related to gut microbiota disorders, and a regular consumption of one type of food helps people stay away from this disease.

Lipopolysaccharide Is a Major Culprit of Alzheimer’s Disease

American and Canadian scientists have recently published a study in the journal Frontiers in Neurology. They have discovered a toxin secreted by human gut microbiota that contributes to Alzheimer’s.

The toxin is a variation of lipopolysaccharides (LPS)—BF-LPS. It is a neurotoxin secreted by the Bacteroides fragilis in the intestines and leaks from ruptured bowels, to enter the blood circulation system. It is capable of breaking through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and entering the brain.
