Vitamin B vitamins has no effect on Alzheimer's patients' mental abilities: Study

A new study has revealed that taking vitamin B doesn't affect mental abilities of people suffering from Alzheimer's.

According to the study by Oxford University researchers, taking supplements like B vitamins doesn't prevent heart disease, stroke or cognitive decline, and people should rather eat more fruit and vegetables, avoid too much red meat and too many calories, and have a balanced diet.

Robert Clarke of Oxford University, who led the research, said that their study draws a line under the debate: B vitamins don't reduce cognitive decline as we age. Taking folic acid and vitamin B-12 is sadly not going to prevent Alzheimer's disease.

 

The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
