Prions, something to keep an eye on!

In this episode of Food Talks, Dallas and Jordan Townsend talk about the mystery that is prions.

Simply put, prions are misfolded proteins. The strange thing is that a misfolded protein can cause a chain reaction of misfolded proteins, leading to Alzheimer's, dementia, and ultimately death.

Scientists still do not know how or why a protein will misfold.

Prions are an undiscovered forefront of science that desperately needs to be answered before it becomes a health crisis for our society.
