Will fish oil keep my brain young? | Luisa Dillner

New research shows that omega-3 may have little impact in stalling dementia – so maybe it’s time we stopped bankrolling a billion-dollar supplements industry

I am drawn to research on reducing the risk of dementia. A family history of two grandparents, two uncles and a father who all had dementia will do that to you. But this is not just about me. The number of adults with Alzheimer’s disease will rise from 26.6 million today to 106.2 million by 2050. If the onset of Alzheimer’s disease was delayed by a year, the world would have 9.2 million fewer people with the condition.
