The Dangers of Amyloid Beta Buildup in the Brain

For many reasons, we can build up a protein called amyloid beta in your brain./nThis can lead to increases in amyloid plaques and amyloid beta binding to itself to form amyloid plaques./nIt takes about 10 to 20 years of accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain to reach a tipping point./nThis tipping point can lead to neurofibrillary tangles and cell death, which is Alzheimer's disease./nDementia is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
