Curry cures Alzheimer's? 01/01/2005 12:50 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: The pigment that makes curry yellow, curcumin, does a better job at treating Alzheimer's than the majority of drugs being tested. (Interestingly, India has one of the lowest Alzheimer rates in the world.)

The new UCLA-Veterans Affairs study involving genetically altered mice suggests that curcumin, the yellow pigment in curry spice, inhibits the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and also breaks up existing plaques.

Alzheimer’s Disease. The name strikes fear into those who hear it, as anyone who has watched a loved one suffer the ravages of this disease can attest. A neurodegenerative disease that destroys memory and cognitive function, it destroys an individual’s mind and personality through the build up of protein plaques in the brain. Currently, the only way to definitively diagnose it is through a post-mortem. This edition of Science.Ars has news on what could become a reliable test for the disease.

In addition, there's news of monkeys working their mind control over robotic limbs, more on the coxib controversy, and other nuggets of science news. Dig in!
