"Magnetite in the brain is not something you want to have because it is particularly toxic there,” she said, because it can create reactive oxygen species called free radicals. “Oxidative cell damage is one of the hallmark features of Alzheimer’s disease and this is why the presence of magnetite is so potentially significant, because it is so bioreactive.”
Abnormal accumulation of brain metals is a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease and a recent study showed magnetite was directly associated with the damage seen in Alzheimer’s brains."
