Nutrition and Alzheimer's Disease

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, while a cure is probably decades away, some of the most promising treatments for Alzheimer's actually include the use of vitamins.The author designs a study, which uses a diverse set of test groups with a large number of participants and a number of research tests conducted over a 5-year period. The paper reports that, if there is a nutritional link between the onset of the disease, the groups with the poorest personal nutritional history should present the highest occurrence of the disease; the groups receiving supplements and having the higher levels of personal nutritional well-being will present the lowest level of Alzheimer's disease.

From the Paper:

"In another study, William B. Grant, a NASA research scientist, suggests estrogen therapy, Vitamin E and the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen may also help reduce incidence of the dreaded memory-loss disease. Grant produced no original research, but rather analyzed data in previously published studies on the prevalence of Alzheimer's and components of the national diets for 11 countries. His statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between high-fat diets and high rates of the disease."
