DRINKING FRUIT JUICES REDUCES ALZHEIMERS RISK

Drinking at least three glasses of fruit juice a week reduces the chances of developing Alzheimer's disease by 75 per cent.

According to a new study reported by Britain's Alzheimer's Research Trust, 2,000 people were followed for 10 years, keeping track of what they consumed. Although those who drink more fruit juice could also engage in other healthy lifestyle behaviours, the researchers believe the positive effect of fruit juice comes from the antioxidants they contain.
