Abstract: NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA--A diet that extends life also repels brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to research presented here 10 November 2003 at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting. The feeding plan also reduces amounts of a brain protein that apparently impairs the ability of neurons to make new connections.
