Silicon-rich mineral water backed for Alzheimer’s benefits

Silicon-rich mineral water backed for Alzheimer’s benefits: The study – published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease – investigated the suggested links between exposure to aluminium and Alzheimer's disease by testing whether reduction in aluminium levels had beneficial effects on the disease.
Led by Professor Christopher Exley, from Keele University, UK, the research team’s findings suggest regular consumption of up to 1 litre a day of a silicon-rich mineral water works to remove aluminium from the bodies of people with Alzheimer’s disease, and in some individuals offers ‘clinically-significant’ protection against cognitive decline.
