At a conference held on July 11th, scientists argued that some of the chemicals that could be found abundantly in fruits, vegetables, and foods derived from both might play an important therapeutic role in averting the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This class of chemicals, known as flavonoids, has been preliminary studied over recent years, and proven to act on the brain in a way that prevents it from degenerating. While the speakers acknowledged the necessity of more studies, they believe that mounting evidence seems to suggest that the science is solid on this matter. “There have been some intriguing epidemiological studies that the consumption of flavonoid-rich vegetables, fruit juices and red wine delays the onset of the disease. These reports, while not as powerful as controlled, randomized clinical trials, have encouraged a number of research groups, including our own, to investigate the biology of flavonoids in more detail,” Kings College London Biochemist Dr. R!
obert Williams, speaking in Edinburgh at the Summer Meeting of the British Pharmacological Society, explained, ScienceDaily informs. One of the main reasons these chemicals have largely been neglected in past studies is the fact that they are antioxidants, and other such substances, such as the vitamin E, have largely proven ...
