Zinc, Probably really silly question but ....

[Guest guest]

I do understand how important extra zinc is for our kids . For a whole

host of reasons . ( well I think I understand;-) ) I am concerned

though about all this extra zinc when our children start to get

older. When reseraching for my mum's Alzheimers disease I found out a

few things . One was that zinc was a HUGE no no . Zinc apparently

speeds up cognitive decline. I found evidence that zinc is present in

the amyloid plagues.I do remember getting some information a while

back that the zinc in the plauges was a good thing but have to say I

can't really remember why that was.Does anyone have this specific

info?? If zinc really is a problem is alzheimers then is there a

point when we should stop suplementing ?? Just in case ?? Having seen

how much my mum disintegrated with Alzheimers , I am just anxious I

don't make any mistakes with . I know some of you will have all

of this info already so as I say probably stupid question ;-) but I

still would appreciate some answers . This does worry me .
