Studies Emphasize New Risk Factor for Dementia
December 9, 2004
- Recent studies have led to one clear conclusion:
it is vital to have your homocysteine levels
checked, and perhaps as often as your cholesterol levels.
Elevated homocysteine levels have already been shown
to play a role in heart attacks and strokes.
However, several new studies provide proof to the theory
that elevated homocysteine may contribute
to cognitive impairment, dementia and related disorders,
such as Alzheimer's and decreased language abilities.
The good news is that certain nutrients have displayed
impressive benefits for lowering homocysteine.

- Ready for some shocking news?
A new study has found that the vitamin and mineral content
of six vital nutrients -- and perhaps even more
-- found in fruits and vegetables have actually decreased
when compared to the levels measured in 1950.
What is even more startling is that vitamin and mineral levels
were shown to be decreased even in 1950.
The fact remains that even the healthiest diets may not provide
all of the required nutrients at optimal levels for ideal health.
Fortunately, taking certain supplements can provide
a convenient and effective way to maximize your diet.
