Another reason to Floss -Alzheimers

I may be making too much of this Swedish twin study that suggests possible Alzheimer's risk factors, but these are the three risk factors mentioned.

1. stroke

2. periodontal disease by mid-life

3. and less education than the twin.

All relate to brain health with periodontal disease a marker for inflammation. 

Would flossing help?  From probably to likely on the gum disease anyway.
