A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine has found that
moderate red wine consumption in a form of Cabernet Sauvignon may help
reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The study entitled
"Moderate Consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon Attenuates â-amyloid
Neuropathology in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease" is in press,
and will be published in the November 2006 issue of The FASEB Journal.
The breakthrough study will also be presented at the "Society for
Neuroscience Meeting" held in Atlanta, Georgia, October 14-18, 2006.
