Impacts of intake of bakery food chemicals, degraded water and psychiatric drugs on liver & renal functions of brain tumor patients..
Pak J Pharm Sci Jan ;32(4):1767-72.

A chemically preserved food has raised mental health issues. Abnormalities in liver and kidney functions have been reported from mentally imbalanced individuals. This study was focused on finding anxiety issues and biochemistry alterations in brain tumor patients and in controls. The levels of liver & kidney enzymes were compared in both groups through Mann-Whitney U test. Kendall's tau-b correlation was conducted to determine that is there any relationship between anxiety levels and biochemistry parameters in both groups. There was more occurrence of severe anxiety levels (58%) in brain tumor patients. There were more mood swings in CG (64%) as compared to BP (48%). Less sleeping pattern was found in CG (42%) as compared to BP (37%). More patients (58%) were having severe anxiety levels as compared to CG (52%). 73% patients were having low levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP). 52% individuals in CG were having low levels of AP. AP was found significantly associated with anxiety levels in brain tumor patients only. A nutrient deprived food from preservation can reduce levels of alkaline phosphatase. This can impact metabolism of necessary minerals for proper brain function. This epidemiological study reports a significant association between anxiety and reduced AP levels.
