Diacetyl, used to produce that buttery flavor in, among other foods, microwavable popcorn, may be a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.

Vince’s team also found that diacetyl has an architecture similar to a substance that makes beta-amyloid proteins clump together in the brain — clumping being a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
