A good reason to drink juice - reduce the risk of Alzheimers

orange juiceIf you love drinking fruit juices, but think you might need to cut back because of recent reports out of UCSF linking juice to childhood obesity, well ignore that and pay attention to this recent study published in the American Journal of Medicine that shows that frequently drinking fruit and vegetable juices may significantly cut the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

US researchers found that the risk of Alzheimer's disease was "76% lower for those who drank juice more than three times a week, compared with those who drank it less than once a week."

Fruit and vegetable juices are rich in polyphenols, chemicals that disrupt the process that accumulates clumps of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which are associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease.

So while you might get a little chubby from all that sugar, at least you'll remember who you are.
