Folic acid 'cuts dementia risk'
Eating plenty of folic acid - found in oranges, lemons and green vegetables - can halve the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study has suggested.
US National Institute on Aging experts monitored diets over seven years.
They found adults who ate the daily recommended allowance of folates (B vitamin nutrients) had a reduced risk of the disease.
UK researchers said the study added weight to previous suggestions folates could reduce Alzheimer's risk.
The study is published in Alzheimer's and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.
