High dietary Vitamin E prevents dementia

by Dr. Robert Skarperud, N.D., M.S. on August 11, 2010

Higher intake of foods rich in vitamin E may modestly reduce long-term risk of dementia and Alzheimers Disease.  A key point here is that vitamin E consumed by this study population came from their food, not supplements. 

Some examples of foods rich in Vitamin E include wheat germ oil, almonds, sunflower seeds, brazil nuts, mango, spinach, broccoli, tomato, kiwi, avocado, and sweet potato.
