I read on Paracetamol's wikipedia page that "Paracetamol also modulates the endogenous cannabinoid system" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol#Society_and_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol#Society_and_cultur...). Given recent studies that indicate Alzheimer's can be treated by THC (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25024327 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25024327), it seems that there's some kind of connection between Alzheimer's and the endogenous cannabinoid system. If that's true, then it could mean paracetamol is not really the "cause" of Alzheimer's, but rather a part of the real cause: disruption or malfunction of our brain's cannabinoid receptors. Perhaps we will finally be able to prove, scientifically and neurologically, that these receptors cannot be ignored, they play a crucial role in our survival.
