We struggle to prevent and treat dementia because the need for researchers to publish positive results, coupled with the urge to put profits over people, leads to fraud, corruption and quackery. We end up with bad research and misguided public policy. 

This podcast is a reading of a recent article of mine for 3rd Act Magazine in which I give recent examples of fraud, corruption, and quackery that have made it harder for us to prevent and treat dementia.
