Souris faut attendre un peu. Dix ans dans le meilleur des cas.

Thanks for sharing this. My great grandmother a her son (my grandpa) both had Alzheimer’s and their brains were studied post mortem. My grandpa had the worst case of Lewy body disease the researchers had ever seen! We also have the APOE4 🧬 run in our family.

It's a noble gas. I'm sceptical.

Xenon can form compounds with Fluorine.

You would not want those in your body, however.

As is Helium. Which has hilarious biological effects when inhaled. Just because it doesn’t happily react chemically doesn’t mean it can’t have biological effects.
