More Alzheimer’s News

Several things have shown up in research studies that point toward likely contributors to Alzheimer’s Disease. Exposure to aluminum is one of these. Aluminum has been linked with all Alzheimer’s cases. Exposure can occur in factories that process aluminum; when food is exposed to aluminum during baking, frying, or cooking, and in some personal care products such as antiperspirants. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and agave are other likely contributors. HFCS is metabolized in the liver rather than being digested like real food. It is also in processed foods and deserts because it is so inexpensive. Read labels. Yes, the print is small. Carry a small magnifying glass if necessary. My guess is that many manufacturers print the ingredients in such small type to make it harder to read; perhaps in the hope that people will not worry about or even investigate what is in the product! I avoid purchasing anything that contains HFCS. More tomorrow.
