Alzheimer's Society comment on Mercury and risk of Alzheimer's disease

Published 17 February 2009

'There is currently no clear evidence to suggest that Mercury fillings cause or worsen Alzheimer's disease. A possible link has been suggested, but much more research is needed.

One million people will develop dementia in the next 10 years. We must ensure that people with dementia and carers have access to evidence-based information to help them make informed decisions.'
