Developing Alzheimer's Disease

This disease is not transmitted from one person to another, you cannot “catch” Alzheimer’s from someone who has it. You also cannot get it from the food you eat. Scientists are rather looking at a number of complicated causes related to “errors” that occur in our body’s proteins and genetic mutations that cause the disease to consistently appear generation after generation in some families. However, at this point in time we only have a number of theories as to the cause of the disease that may later lead to a definitive reason why people get the disease and when they get it, and hopefully a cure.
