    I was very interested in psychology at one point and had learned that nicotine is beneficial to Alzheimer’s and can stop it entirely. However, the forms we ingest it in such as vaping and cigarettes is carcinogenic, meaning it can cause cancer. Great infographic.

  • Hello! I like how this infographic goes into a deeper explanation on how Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain on a molecular level. It shows how the amyloid-beta protein disrupts the cell membrane, leading to cell death and brain damage. I like the message because it raises awareness about the complex science behind Alzheimer’s and how it affects the brain. The use of clear images and simple language makes it easy to understand.
