Flavonoids may be the Key to Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the cause of nearly 70 percent of dementia cases, making it a major public health challenge for which there is no effective therapy. ARS funded research lead by Dr. Paul Jacques and Dr. Rhoda Au, who followed 2,809 men and women older than age 50 for an average of 20 years as part of the Framingham Heart Study. Their study revealed that specific fruits and vegetables rich in plant compounds known as flavonoids demonstrated nearly a 50% reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. These results suggest that diet may be one of the best ways to mitigate the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
