From: Tebay, Wendy on Fri, Apr 18, 1997 2:21 PM Subject: Wine and Alzheimers To: PD Listserv Postings Just wanted to pass along this story I caught on CNN last night. Someone at the University of Bordeaux in France did a study of the local population over 65, and noticed that it seems to be that those who drink around 3-4 glasses of wine a day have a 2/3 less chance of developing Alzheimers and/or dementia. It's only a small study, so further tests will have to be done. Whether this can translate at all to PD, I don't know, but I think the Europeans often have a better attitude about enjoying life, including long meals and lots of vacation, and that can never hurt anyone in my opinion!
