Dr. Oz: Diacetyl Memory Loss
Dr. Oz said there are many butter substitutes out there, but before he told viewers what they were, he invited Georgia on to the stage to ask her about her fake butter intake. Georgia said she saw the study which linked diacetyl to memory loss and possibly Alzheimer’s and she said she does not want that to happen to her. Being a lawyer, she said she needs to keep her brain sharp.
Dr. Oz reiterated that the true connection will not be seen for years and not until we find out how the body is going to process these foreign chemicals it has never seen before.
