=== Iron's Role in Alzheimer's: ===
Iron is important for our brain to work right. But if there's too much iron in the brain, it can cause problems. People with Alzheimer's have more iron in certain parts of their brain. This extra iron can damage brain cells and start ferroptosis. Some studies have shown that iron can also make harmful clumps in the brain, called Aβ plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's.
