Back to 2002 Highlights 2002 Conference Highlights July 22, 2002 High Antioxidant, Low-Fat Diet May Protect Against Alzheimer's Stockholm Grace Petot and her colleagues collected data regarding what foods people consumed and how often during three different stages of adulthood. Participants—or, for individuals with Alzheimer's, a surrogate respondent—were asked to recall, to the best of their knowledge, how often they commonly consumed various foods when they were 20 - 39 years old, 40 - 59 years old and age 60 up to approximately five years before being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. When the researchers analyzed data for the 40 - 59 age period for 96 people with Alzheimer's and 214 unaffected individuals, two distinct dietary patterns emerged for consumption of 29 food groups. "One pattern, which we called the high-fat, low antioxidant pattern, consists of foods such as red meats, processed meats, eggs, fried chicken, high-fat dairy products, high energy drinks (drinks with sugar), french fries, refined grains, margarine, snacks, nuts, sweets and desserts," said Petot. "The second pattern-high antioxidant, low-fat-included foods such as yellow and green vegetables, fish and seafood, fruits, homemade and readymade soups, whole grains, tomatoes and other vegetables." The Alzheimer's Association is hosting the 8th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders, July 20-25, 2002, in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference is the largest gathering of Alzheimer researchers in history. As many as 4,000 scientists from around the world will present and discuss the findings of nearly 2,000 studies on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.

FLAIR-FLOW 4 is supported by the European Commission within the 5 th Framework Programme under the Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources, Key Action 1. It comprises a network that disseminates food research results to consumer groups, health professionals and the food industry in 24 European countries. FFE 616/03/CG76 Dietary Fat and Alzheimer's Disease Diet, and specifically the type and amount of lipids (fats) consumed, may have a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. An EU-funded research project called 'LIPIDIET', with researchers from seven countries, is focusing on the connection between dietary fat and this disease. In recent years it has been discovered that cholesterol decreases the formation of amyloid , which has a link with Alzheimer's disease. Cholesterol levels can be influenced by diet, but there is still a lack of knowledge about the relationship between cholesterol, diet and the disease. Amyloid , a special protein, is not degraded normally in Alzheimer's disease, and it accumulates in the brain, causing the symptoms. We all produce some amounts of amyloid in our cells, but only an increased production is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.
