Wine & Weed to Ward Off Alzheimer’s
December 9, 2008 by Doug Haugen
Two recent studies suggest that both red wine and marijuana could have health benefits that include the warding off of Alzheimer’s Disease.
One study at Ohio State University suggests that THC (the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana) may not only reduce inflammation in the brain, but encourage the growth of new brain cells. Another study at UCLA found that polyphenols in red wine reduce toxic plaques that damage brain cells.
Ain’t science grand?
