Alzheimer's 'cause' discovered: Poisonous algae found in UK freshwater lakes and reservoirs could be fuelling dementia epidemic afflicting one million people
It is the first direct evidence that a chemical, produced by algae, might be linked to devastating brain conditions
Scientists have discovered the toxin in seafood and plants, through which it is feared it is entering the food chain
Researchers highlighted a growing body of evidence that the toxin, named BMAA, could trigger brain diseases
If confirmed, the chemical would be the first major environmental factor linked to increasing rates of Alzheimer’s
A poisonous toxin found in freshwater lakes and reservoirs across Britain could be fuelling the country’s dementia epidemic, scientists fear.
Researchers have found the first direct evidence that a chemical, produced by algae, might be linked to a range of devastating neurological conditions including Alzheimer’s and Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
The toxin – sometimes a by-product of increasingly common blue-green algal bloom – has been found in seafood and plants, through which it is feared it enters the food chain.
Now experts have highlighted a growing body of evidence suggesting the toxin, called BMAA, could trigger brain disease in humans.
If the link is confirmed, the chemical would be the first major environmental factor linked to increasing rates of Alzheimer’s, which is predicted to affect more than one million Britons by 2050.
