Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, is a researcher in the area of mercury toxicity and the brain. It's been reported that Haley’s research has found a link between mercury toxicity and Alzheimer’s disease. He stated that "seven of the characteristic markers that we look for to distinguish Alzheimer's disease can be produced in normal brain tissues, or cultures of neurons, by the addition of extremely low levels of mercury.”

People may debate the issue, but better safe than sorry. Since they can produce it without timeresol, my flu shot was mercury free.

Another good reason not to listen to Imus so that you don't have to hear him rant and whine about this issue.

So...perhaps one would think southeast asians have more occurrences of Altzheimer's disease then?

Or is that obtuse?
