Green Tea May Protect the Aging Brain
(NY, Reuters Health, 2/24/06)
Dr. Shinichi Kuriyama of Tohoku University Graduate School
of Medicine, and team, tested the memory, language and
attention of 1,003 older Japanese adults, who had completed
questionnaires on their habits, health and previous month’s
diet. The investigators found that the more green tea the
participants routinely consumed, the lower their risk of
cognitive impairment. Scientists speculate that compounds in
tea may protect brain cells.
