As a researcher in the field, this article doesn't really give a good explanation of what's going on here. Seems to say he just doubted the cause but didn't provide any other ideas. Researchers right now are thinking the amyloid beta still plays a major part, the issue is free floating amyloid beta, not the plaques. The plaques therefore would just be another symptom of this free floating amyloid beta. Also, it's surprisingly similar to diabetes, just localized in the brain. So don't be overweight.
