US pharmacy chain pushing useless Alzheimer’s test.

The Rite Aid Corporation has started providing a supposed early warning test for Alzheimer’s at it's stores; however physicians are highly critical of it, saying the tests don’t work well and may cause unwarranted fear among people who don’t have the disease.



The tests are being made available in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, not to be confused with the Alzheimer’s Association, which doesn’t support the test.
