The videos are summaries of scientific studies, and in the description of each video there are links to a text article on the topic, and from there we have the links to all scientific papers.

For example in the video "Oxidized Cholesterol as a Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease", the sources cited are summarized here in this article - https://nutritionfacts.org/video/oxidized-cholesterol-as-a-c...

If you scroll down and click on the tab "Sources", the linked studies are there.

38 years is a long time, I don't see why the age makes you immediately conclude that it can only be genetic and not influenced by diet.

Getting obese is also genetic, some people can still be slim with the standard western diet, while others start gaining weight at a certain age.

Yey, if you eat right you will likely never get obese, even though you have an obesity-prone genetics.

If some people can get heart attacks at 38, why is it so surprising that they can also get Alzheimer's if they have been eating foods very high in fat and cholesterol multiple times a day non-stop since birth?

If Alzheimer's is triggered or strongly linked to dietary choices, at least we should be informed of that while the studies continue.
