Red wine and chocolate diet to fight off Alzheimer's

[packman]

Well, I'm for it. Throwing out that green salad crap and orange juice as we speak and off to the liquor and candy store. You can find my bloated drunk carcass in a few weeks with a happy chocolate smeared smile on my face.



Researchers have found that a naturally occurring compound found in dark chocolate and red wine might be able to halt the progress of Alzheimer’s disease.

Resveratrol, which is also contained in red grapes and various berries, was taken in its purified form by a number of participants with mild to moderate dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease; meanwhile, a control group took a placebo.

After a one-year study, the group taking resveratrol supplements showed little or no change in the levels of amyloid-beta40 (Abeta40) in their blood and cerebrospinal fluid, while those in the control group saw their levels diminish as usually occurs with the worsening of the disease. The build-up of amyloid proteins in the brain are thought to be one of the key causes of Alzheimer’s disease.

Not sure if it will work, but I have been on that prescription for a couple of months now.
