Dietary intakes of vitamin E, vitamin C, and β-carotene and risk of Alzheimer's disease: a meta-analysis.
Generous intake of vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene from food sources may help halt the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
The objective of this meta-analysis was to synthesize evidence from studies that explored the relationship between dietary intake vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene and the odds of acquiring Alzheimer's disease. Data from 7 scientific publications were analyzed for this meta-analysis.
Data analysis revealed that the risk of Alzheimer's fell with increase in the rate of consumption of foods high in vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene. The results of this study show that high dietary ingestion of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and E may protect against the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
