I'm not sure what you're referring to re: Alzheimer's plaque. They're not the same type of "plaque". Alzheimer's is basically little pieces of protein that clumped together and the body couldn't get rid of it. Generally, pH changes can affect proteins and lead to their clumping, but that's not the mechanism here. It's when there's too much of these abnormal proteins that normally get filtered away. It's generally called "amyloidosis". There's many theories for why: some think it's linked to bacteria from our mouths getting into the brain, some think it's because the glymphatic system got clogged (healthy flow of CSF fluid, like clogging of certain holes where it's supposed to flow more freely, etc, etc). Not the same substance as arterial plaque.
