Two paragraphs here, your doctor better know all about this.
Older adults who eat diets high in antioxidants may not have a lower risk of dementia or stroke, according to a Dutch-based study - despite some evidence that specific vitamins have a protective effect on the brain.
The study, published in Neurology, found that people who consumed the most antioxidants - appearing in large quantities in foods such as beans, berries and nuts - were just as likely to end up having either dementia or stroke as study participants who hardly got any antioxidants.
