Dubious study. More self-interest reinforcement than real science in my opinion. Dr. Ide has received research support from the Dunhill Medical Trust, the Oral and Dental Research Trust, Colgate Palmolive and GlaxoSmithKline. Can you say "conflict of interest"?
A 6 month "cohort study" plus no explanation how the bacteria that accompanies periodontal disease magically crosses the blood-brain barrier makes me doubt it's validity. It seems to target the stereotype of people living in the UK have bad teeth. The "scientists" authoring this junk science is trying to scare people into running to the dentist to jerk ot all their teeth and buy very expensive surgery and false teeth to try to delay the onset of Alzheimer's.
