Eating Fabulous » Pomegranate Juice May Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease
A study published recently in the Neurobiology of Disease have shown that in mice, concentrated pomegranate juice (brand name: Pom Wonderful) seems to prevent neurodegeneration, which subsequently leads to Alzheimer’s disease.The mice given the pomegranate juice drink were found to negotiate the maze significantly quicker (about 35 per cent) and swam a more direct path (on average 3750 cm less) than the non-supplemented group [snip].
When the researchers examined the quantity of beta-amyloid deposits [which are telltales of Alzheimer’s disease] in the brain cortex of the mice, it was found that the pomegranate juice-supplemented groups had 50 per cent less of the protein than the non-supplemented group.
