ANTIOXIDANTS MAY DELAY ONSET OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Two new studies indicate that Vitamins C and E may delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by preventing free radicals from causing oxidative damage.

The first study was led by Dr Marianne J Englehart of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. When her team analysed the diets of 5395 adults in a 6-year study, the researchers found that people consuming the most Vitamins C and E were least likely to develop Alzheimers.

In the second study, Dr Martha Clare Morris and team of Rush Institute for Healthy Ageing in Chicago, Illinois, also concluded that people who consumed foods high in Vitamin E were less likely to develop Alzheimers.
