Can Alzheimers Disease be controlled environmentally?
ALzheimers is a complex disease that almost certainly has some environmental influences. One study comparing residents of a Nigerian village with urban African-Americans, found a significantly lower level of dementia and AD (the cohorts were age-corrected). There was a proposed link with aluminium, but this has failed to survive more recent research. The block-capital brigade have suggested a connection with water fluoridation, but they blame that for everything (except better dental health), without perceiving a need for what we human beings call ‘evidence’. Research continues.
