Studies in cultured neurons demonstrate not only that homocysteine potentiates β-amyloid-peptide neurotoxicity6 but also that potentiation of β-amyloid-peptide–induced neuronal apoptosis may be enhanced by homocysteine levels that are themselves benign. These findings suggest that homocysteine may have major effects on the onset and progression of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease

A diet rich in methionine, an amino acid typically found in red meats, fish, beans, eggs, garlic, lentils, onions, yogurt and seeds, can possibly increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease,.
