Berries Lower Parkinson's Risk

Berries Lower Parkinson's Risk

A newly released study followed 49,281 men and 80,336 women for 20-22 years. It found that those that ate the most berries1 had a 40% risk reduction for developing Parkinson’s disease.

The researchers found that the flavonoids in many fruits are helpful, especially for men (who lack the brain-protecting benefit of higher estrogen). However, it is the anthocyanin flavonoids that really deliver a high level of protection to the brain for both men and women.
