Study: Certain Fish Acid Could Prevent Alzheimer's Disease

POSTED: 2:28 pm EDT September 13, 2005 Email This Story | Print This Story Researchers have found the first evidence that Alzheimer's disease may be tied to some of the food we eat.

Dietary DHA is most common in cold-water ocean fish and in fish-oil capsules. Click here to find out more!
