Some new research may have uncovered the link between PPIs that many people use for heartburn, like Nexium and Prilosec and health issues. Previously, there was a correlation, but not a proof of cause between PPIs and heart disease, kidney disease, and dementia. Now, Dr. John P. Cooke at Houston Methodist Research Institute, TX says it may be due to the molecular changes that take place
when acid is basically eliminated. Turns out that use of such drugs causes premature vascular aging.
