Antioxidant vitamins reduce acute meal-induced memory deficits in adults with type 2 diabetes - Source: Nutrition Research, July 2008
Amazingly, the memory problems that swiftly followed high-fat meals in this study were avoided when subjects took antioxidant vitamins with the meal - presumably because the problems were caused by free radicals. A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is the preferred preventive. [Source: Nutrition Research, July 2008] |

Findings from this multi-center study “suggest that volume reductions in [the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex] associated with PTSD arise as a consequence of stress exposure rather than emerging as a heritable trait.” Full text of the report is available free online.
