Sunscreens May Be Linked to Alzheimer’s

Millions of Americans use sunscreen regularly to protect their skin against the sun’s damaging rays. But a chilling possibility that the same sunscreens used to protect skin from cancer could possibly cause Alzheimer’s disease is being investigated by scientists from the University of Ulster.

The European Union has awarded ?350,000 to two experts from the University of Ulster to explore possible links between sunscreens and the brain disease. They will look at whether nanoparticles present in the chemicals used in sunscreens can cause neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. MORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>
