A new research highlights the possibility that antioxidants in fruit and vegetable juices may lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Yet it does not prove that the juices can definitely help dodge Alzheimer's, the most common form of mental decline in older adults.
The finding was presented in Washington, at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Prevention of Dementia.
The most frequent juice drinkers were found to be the least likely to have developed Alzheimer's. Those who reported drinking fruit or vegetable juices at least three times per week were 73% less likely to have developed Alzheimer's as those who drank juice less than once a week.
Animal studies have revealed that a number of polyphenols from juices may protect brain cells against oxidation more than vitamin E and C, say the researchers.
