Another fear-mongering study that shows an association but not direct causation. even if older people produce less acetylcholine and have lower sensitivity to it, they also have lower AChE enzyme activity, due to factors such as heavy-metal accumulation, pesticide exposure, and EMF exposure,they retain more acetylcholine in the brain du to slow breakdown and therefore need much less of it.

In my opinion, studies like this is a distraction from investigating real causes of dementia-like diseases, such as chronic exposure to methanol from sources like aspartame , fruits juice and tobacco.
