Fruit and vegetable juice to fight Alzheimer's disease4 September 2006 Fruit and vegetable juice can help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers have found. A study published in the American Journal of Medicine suggests that drinking fruit and vegetable juice three times a week can dramatically reduce the chance of developing the condition. Researchers from Vanderbilt University followed 1,836 Japanese people living in the US, over a 10-year period. The amount of fruit and vegetable juice the people drank was recorded and tests on their cognitive function were carried out every two years. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease was 76 percent less among those who consumed fruit and vegetable juice three times per week, compared with people who drank juice less than once per week. The risk was reduced by 16 percent among people who drank fruit and vegetable juice once or twice per week. "We found that frequent drinking of fruit and vegetable juices was associated with a substantially decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease," said lead researcher, Dr Qi Dai. Dr Dai added: "These findings are new and suggest that fruit and vegetable juices may play an important role in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease." Related links
