Fruit and veg juices 'cut Alzheimer's risk'

[Guest guest]

Drinking fruit and vegetable juice on a regular basis can dramatically reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer’s, a study has shown. Researchers in Japan and the US followed almost 2,000 dementia-free volunteers for up to 10 years while monitoring their consumption of fruit and vegetable juices. The risk of Alzheimer’s was reduced by 76 per cent for those who drank juices more than three times a week compared with those who drank them less than once a week. The findings appear today in the American Journal of Medicine. Dr Qi Dai, from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, wrote: "We found that frequent drinking of fruit and

vegetable juices was associated with a substantially decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.. "These findings are new and suggest that fruit and vegetable juices may play an important role in delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s disease." Previous studies have suggested that polyphenols, strong antioxidants found in fruit juices, might disrupt biological processes in the brain that lead to Alzheimer’s.Peter H

Really, it's the wrong way round. They think we have the diseases normally and should cure them with food when really we develop disease because of eating a faulty diet in the first place.
