Well Another confirmation of the dangers of metals in causing Alzheimer's disease. In this case copper. Although this is not really novel information a new study confirms what we already suspected. This time the study examined the dangers of copper from water pipes.
The researchers found that copper accumulates in the body throughout life. However after the age of 50 the body does not handle it very well and thus it can lead to problems such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. In fact the researchers found that those who consumed high levels of copper lost cognitive abilities 3 time faster than those with lower copper consumption. If you want to uderstand how copper contribute to Alzheimer's disease see this article Why Alzheimer's Disease happens: Targets for slowing, stopping and reversing Alzheimer's disease.
So what can you do about this? Strategies for reducing copper include avoiding water from copper pipe as well as reducing meat consumption. Do not take multivitamins with copper included. Increase zinc and molybdenum intake as these help the body eliminate copper. Use chelating agents such as green tea that can bind to copper and carry it out of the body.
