High Levels of Vitamin E Shown to Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk. A recent study published in the journal Alzheimer’s Disease followed 232 individuals over 80 years of age with no signs of dementia for six years. Researchers found that participants with the highest levels of vitamin E were significantly less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. This result was attributed to vitamin E’s strong antioxidant properties, which help protect brain cells.

Berries May Reduce Blood Sugar Spikes. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that adding a berry puree (made of bilberries, blackcurrants, cranberries and strawberries) to a high sugar meal resulted in a lower blood glucose spike than when the berries were excluded. The researchers believe that the berries reduced digestion and/or absorption of sugar, resulting in the lower glycemic response.
