But those with Alzheimer's also have high levels of mercury in their brain. Beware of amalgam dental fillings. Mercury from the fillings gradually passes into the body and, over a period of time, accumulates in the brain. Obtaining an adequate supply of minerals in the diet helps keep heavy metals from accumulating in the body. Women with Alzheimer's have lower estrogen levels than normal.
Free radicals are another factor.
Avoid foods which contain them. Those with Alzheimer's have low levels of vitamin B 12 and zinc in their bodies. All the B complex vitamins are important. Vitamins A and E, important antioxidant vitamins, are also important. Levels of choline and ethanolamine are lower in those with Alzheimer's.
