How PCBs Damage the Developing Brain

Researchers from UC Davis have published a collection of studies demonstrating once and for all the mechanisms explaining how PCBs, which are a widespread contaminant in the US food supply, directly alter the shape and function of brain cells causing excitotoxic changes in cells that are associated with ADHD, learning disabilities, mental retardation, and other forms of cognitive impairment.

Carnosine Stops Nerve Excitotoxicity

Under stress or by exposure to various chemicals/pollution your nerves can become to excited, as if overheating. This sets off an inflammatory cascade in your brain and speeds up wear and tear. Under the most extreme experimental conditions researchers have for the first time shown that the nutrient carnosine can directly lower excessive brain excitotoxicity.

Tocotrienols Prevent Excitotoxic Brain Cell Death

Researchers at Ohio State University have shown that alpha tocotrienol, a special kind of vitamin E, can neutralize the chain of events that commonly leads to brain cell death, an ability that not only offers general protection from common pollution and stress but also preserves the brain following stroke.
