45、its anti-aging and anti-cancer benefits because, as an antioxidant, it counters the destructive action of molecules called free radicals. Now a study has shown vitamin E may also help the memory loss and impaired thinking that occurs in the elderly.Researchers at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging
46、 in Chicago conducted a three-year study involving nearly 3,000 people older than 65 to investigate the cognitive effects of vitamin E in food and supplements.By comparing the average scores of four different tests of memory and perception, the researchers were able to track change in cognitive func

The participants also completed dietary questionnaires periodically, which enabled the researchers to determine their vitamin E intake.The study found that the higher the intake of total vitamin E, the less change there was in the peoples average test scores each year. And those men a
