Fish oil prevents plaque in Alzheimer's patients

Posted on Dec 28th 2007 9:05AM by Brian White
UCLA researchers this week said that we all need a fish oil fatty acid to ensure we have the internal tools to make a plaque-fighting protein that could help prevent Alzheimer's Disease.

That's comforting -- but if you can afford it, a good supplement regimen of Omega-3 oils is great for just about everyone from teenage years up.

Specifically, choose a fish oil product with plenty of DHA, which was found to stimulate the brain into making more of a brain protein called LR11 that is associated with Alzheimer's Disease.
