> MANGANESE:
> A deficiency can lead to blood sugar intolerance. Manganese is required to load up acetylcholine, our memory neurotransmitter. Anti psychotic medications (major tranquilizers) bind to manganese, causing a deficiency that results in tardive dyskinesia (contorted facial twitching) in about one quarter of schizophrenics taking anti-psychotics. Taking manganese daily helps to prevent or reverse this toxic reaction.
Manganese: a toxin whose fumes should not exceed 5mg/m3, noted in neurodegeneration in manganism, a miner's disease. MMT, Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), a gas additive especially common in Canada and a replacement for TEL (Tetraethyl Lead), also can cause manganism in handling and manufacture, though not clear in exposure by fume inhalation. WHO Standards are 0.5mg/L of water.Just a note that there is a flipside to everything -- that's why if, and only if there was a chromium deficiency in someone, we are talking mcg to correct this. Most of the western world already gets chromium, vanadium, and other compounds simply by using stainless steel in cooking food exposure.
