Are there any studies on identical twins with ALZ or studies where only one has it?

@@strixgaming4271 No one in my family drinks alcohol and 6-7 people in my family got it. None were alcoholics or even drank regularly. I have watched many many videos on Alzhiemers and not one has meantioned alcohol as a risk factor. Red meat is most often meantioned.

Alcohol typically kills you before then This is why I don’t want to live until I’m 100 My grandma suffered with this in her 90s. She died March 15, at 102 years old That’s what being healthy gets you Mind you I’m 21, I love being fit and healthy now. But when I’m 70-75, I’m going to eat like a pig, drink and do whatever I want to be dead before this disease gets me too
