"It's now been estimated that Alzheimer's is the third leading cause of death in America and that's a pretty astounding metric, isn't it?" (said at 0:00:33)
No published record matching the claim that Alzheimer's disease is estimated to be the third leading cause of death in the United States was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"It was thought that, you know, the total brain load of this protein is about 4 and 1/2 g." (said at 0:22:06)
No published record matching the claim that the total brain load of beta-amyloid protein in Alzheimer's disease is approximately 4.5 grams was located; this does not prove the claim false.
"And when we looked at these different subtypes of Alzheimer's, what we found is that the toxic subtype of Alzheimer's is actually more similar to Lewy body disease and Parkinson's. So, it's part of that group, not so much the metabolic type of Alzheimer's." (said at 1:02:40)
No published record matching the claim that the toxic subtype of Alzheimer's disease is more similar to Lewy body disease and Parkinson's disease than to the metabolic subtype of Alzheimer's was located; this does not prove the claim false. While clinical subtype frameworks (such as Type 1 inflammatory, Type 2 atrophic, and Type 3 toxic/cortical Alzheimer's disease) have been proposed in small case series and narrative publications, peer-reviewed comparative evidence demonstrating that this proposed toxic subtype groups more closely with Lewy body dementia or Parkinson's disease has not been established in the literature.
