Spring Hills Senior Communities recently came across this article on the Alzheimer's Review blog, which speaks about an interesting study done by the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine.  The informative study shows new evidence in the link between Mercury exposure and the development of Alzheimer's Disease.  According to the article, mercury can cause damage to nerve cells, which is similar to the damage seen in Alzheimer's patients.

Mercury exposure can come in many forms.  The article states that Mercury exposure occurs in the human body as a result of some fish consumption, dental amalgams, and some vaccines.  How does this information effect you and your elderly parent? Click here to read the full article.
