”Compared to people who consumed less than one serving of vegetables a day, people who ate at least 2.8 servings of vegetables a day saw their rate of cognitive change slow by roughly 40 percent,”

”Of the different types of vegetables consumed by participants, green leafy vegetables had the strongest association to slowing the rate of cognitive decline.”

”These new studies are interesting, since they show the need to eat vegetables,” comments Lena Hulthén,
a professor in clinical nutrition at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

After an era of greatness a decennium ago, the expectations of different vitamins and antioxidants declined,
since a serial of studies didn't succed to validate the effect.

”The lesson is that you can't select a discret nutrient and get an effect.
But when the nutrients are together in their own milieu, a connection emerge we yet don't understand.”

Well... holistic thoughts are start growing in the university world too. ;)
There is a hope for mankind.
