Alzheimer’s-like symptoms reversed through a diet containing compounds found in green tea and carrots

A diet containing compounds found in green tea and carrots reversed Alzheimer’s-like symptoms in mice genetically programmed to develop the disease.
Researchers emphasize that the study, recently published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, was in mice, and many mouse discoveries never translate into human treatments.
Nevertheless, the findings lend credence to the idea that certain readily available, plant-based supplements might offer protection against dementia in humans.
said senior author Terrence Town, a professor of physiology and neuroscience at the Keck School of Medicine of USC’s Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute.
“I find that very encouraging.”
For comparison, each group also contained an equal number of healthy mice. For three months, the mice consumed a combination of EGCG and FA, or EGCG or FA only, or a placebo.

The dosage was 30 mg per kilogram of body weight a dosage well-tolerated by humans and easily consumed as part of a healthy, plant-based diet or in the form supplements.
Of particular note was a maze in the shape of a Y, which tests a mouse’s spatial working memory a skill that humans use to find their way out of a building.
“After three months, combination treatment completely restored working memory and the Alzheimer’s mice performed just as well as the healthy comparison mice,”
Town said.
In addition, the compounds appeared to reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in the brain key aspects of Alzheimer’s pathology in humans.

"healthy, plant-based diet"? Can't you people quit for 5 minutes? I've never felt better, looked better or had better blood-work since quitting a "healthy, plant-based diet" and eating plenty of meat and fat.
There's nothing "healthy" about depriving yourself of nutrients.
Nothing in this study, on rice, said humans have to be vegetarians to drink green tea or eat rice.
