Cabernet Could Help Fight Alzheimer's

Reports have gone out recently that drinking as little as a glass or two a day of Cabernet Sauvignon could help fight Alzheimer's Disease. No report on how high quality the wine has to be so we'll stick to our cheap fun ones, but we'll definitely be upping our intake.

The authors of the study said, "This study supports epidemiological evidence indicating that moderate wine consumption, within the range recommended by the FDA dietary guidelines of one drink per day for women and two for men, may help reduce the relative risk for AD clinical dementia."

The researchers used 11-month-old transgenic mice with AD-type в-amyloid (Aв) neuropathology, to look for improvements in cognitive loss and AD-type neuropathology after red wine consumption.
