In this episode of Food Talks, Dallas and Jordan Townsend talk about the mystery that is prions.

Simply put, prions are misfolded proteins. The strange thing is that a misfolded protein can cause a chain reaction of misfolded proteins, leading to Alzheimer's, dementia, and ultimately death.

Scientists still do not know how or why a protein will misfold.

Prions are an undiscovered forefront of science that desperately needs to be answered before it becomes a health crisis for our society.
