Copper and Iron Toxicity Harmful For Seniors
by Howard Jamison on January 25, 2010
Chronic diseases of aging such as Alzheimer’s disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and others may all be contributed to by excess copper and iron.
Their toxicities are so general in the population that they are a looming public health problem in the aging process itself. A very disturbing finding has found that in the general population those in the highest fifth of copper intake, if they are also eating a relatively high fat diet, lose cognition at over three times the normal rate!
Diet tips include lowering fat and meat intake and avoiding drinking water from copper pipes.
The report by George J. Brewer, Department of Human Genetics and Internal Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan was published in Chemical Research in Toxicology.
