Alzheimers and strawberries
Here is the abstract of a recent study published in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease:

It sounds promising, but may also be one of those things where the strawberries in the diet are concurrent with another thing the person does/has.
The reason I say that is because strawberries made no difference for carriers of the APOE ɛ4 gene.
Interesting, but I don't anticipate stuffing strawberries into every part of my menu just yet.
Besides which, we know that the goal of a study such as this is to isolate the active bit - the pelargonidin - and then prescribe pills or injections of it.
It can't hurt to give people strawberries, including me, but I'm not going to get too excited about it. I suspect that strawberry jam ain't gonna cut it.
