New Study Proves Forgetfulness May Actually be an Early Warning Sign of Alzheimer’s Disease

Startling new research from a Mayo Clinic study shows forgetfulness may be an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s Disease — and not just a symptom of aging.

The researchers were astounded by the study’s results.
