According to the authors, \u201cdetailed statistical analyses showed that aluminum was significantly increased in each of these groups compared to control tissues.\u201d They go on to mention that:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We have confirmed previous conclusions that the aluminum content of brain tissue in Alzheimer\u2019s disease, autism spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis is significantly elevated. Further research is required to understand the role played by high levels of aluminum in the aetiology of human neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disease.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The researchers used tissue from twenty control brains of healthy individuals to compare against the brain tissue of people who have had a diagnosis of the neurodegenerative conditions mentioned. The fact that all disease groups had significantly higher brain aluminum content than the control group is quite concerning. That being said, it\u2019s not proof that aluminum actually plays a direct role in each of these diseases. More research would need to be done on this topic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Finish reading:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-020-64734-6\">https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-020-64734-6<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study published in the journal Nature compared the aluminum content in human brain tissue of people with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, familial Alzheimer\u2019s disease, autism spectrum disorder and multiple sclerosis with healthy controls.
