Aluminum and Water As evidence against aluminum mounts, concern has developed about drinking water. Now, research has tied loss of mental powers to aluminum exposure and implicated drinking water as a source. Due to this research some are beginning to suggest that local water supplies should be monitored for excess aluminum. Because aluminum can effect the brain by causing the symptoms of aluminum induced Alzheimer's Disease, this could be a breakthrough for researchers who are studying how this brain destroying disease progresses. A study of miners in northern Ontario is currently exploring this issue in detail.
Strokes are a major contributor to memory loss in aging brains.
Many strokes occur because arteries supplying blood to the brain become clogged with cholesterol deposits. A new study reveals important information on how cholesterol's effects can be minimized. Polar bears eat lots of seals, which feed almost exclusively on oily, cold water, ocean fish. The bears leave the meaty parts of their kills for others and concentrate on the fat. By doing this they take in huge amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.
