Consumption of fruits may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease

Apples, bananas, and oranges are the most common fruits in both Western and Asian diets, and are important sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. A new study in the Journal of Food Science explores the additional health benefits of these fruits and reveals they also protect against neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

3. New imaging technique identifies people-at-risk for Alzheimer's disease
   12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   UCLA researchers used innovative brain scan technology with a new imaging molecule, invented at UCLA, to show that abnormal brain protein deposits that define Alzheimer's disease can be detected in people with mild cognitive impairment, a condition affecting 15-20 million Americans that increases risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. The new imaging technique helped researchers track disease progression over a two-year period and may be helpful in detecting pre-Alzheimer's conditions.

5. A new century of Alzheimer's disease research
   07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Imagine the day when a routine visit to the family doctor includes a simple blood test to predict the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). If the test returns a worrisome result -- too many sticky brain proteins that might begin to gum up memory and thought in 10 to 15 years -- a person could be offered an aspirin-like pill to keep those proteins in check.

6. Blood test takes step toward predicting Alzheimer's risk, Stanford researchers find
   10-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   One of the most distressing aspects of Alzheimer's disease is the difficulty in determining whether mild memory problems are the beginning of an inevitable mental decline. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a blood test that is a step toward giving people an answer two to six years in advance of the onset of the disease.

   A cross-sectional survey, led by Dr. You-Ming Li, in a cluster random sample found that old age, being male, having a moderate working burden, being divorced/widowed and heavy tea consumption remained significant independent risk factors for erosive esophagitis. Meanwhile, routine consumption of greasy food and constipation were considered significant independent risk factors for non-erosive reflux disease.
