Association of Omega-3 DHA With Cerebral Amyloidosis in Alzheimer’s
Higher dietary intake of DHA has been associated with better cognitive performance in several epidemiological studies. Animal and in vitro studies also indicate that DHA prevents amyloid deposition in the brain. Cross-sectional analysis of serum DHA levels together with measures of amyloid deposition (Pittsburgh Compound B index) on amyloid PET scan, brain volumes, and neuropsychological

Source: http://blog.alz.org/without-action-alzheimers-will-overwhelm-federal-budget-by-2050-part-ii/
This is part two of a three-part series on the need to act decisively to address the Alzheimer’s crisis. Part one reviewed the fiscal imperative to address the Alzheimer’s crisis, while part three reveals public opinion on the need for government to act.

First released in 2012, the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease set a clear goal: “prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease by …
