Drug companies aren’t even close to finding an Alzheimer’s prevention treatment but there are simple actions individuals can take now to help prevent the buildup of certain protein placques in the brain which lead to the disease, says a B.C. neurology research expert.

Addressing delegates to an international science conference, University of B.C. researcher Dr. Patrick McGeer said there are no approved drug treatments that can stop Alzheimer's disease progression nor any to prevent it but there’s enough evidence for readily accessible measures like eating these foods, which contain A-beta aggregation blockers.
