Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia in the UK which causes the decline of brain functioning. It can affect memory, thinking skills and other mental abilities. Research is ongoing into the causes of the disease which is not yet fully understood although there are factors that are known to increase or decrease the chances of suffering from it. And a latest study has shown the potential of extra virgin olive oil in tackling Alzheimer's. Using artificial intelligence it has been possible to identify specific compounds in the oil which appeared to have an impact on the disease. There were 10 phytochemicals in the oil, which is used widely in Mediterranean dishes, that have the 'highest likelihood' of having "promising effects" on the protein network of Alzheimer's. The results were found using network machine learning and graph neural networks to see the interaction of complex pathways for people with Alzheimer's. 'It is well known that diet and lifestyle influence health. Machine learning is a novel, cost-effective way to evaluate the potential health benefits of individual EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) phytochemicals,' stated the study co-authored by Luis Rita at Temple University, Philadelphia. "The analyses identified several individual EVOO phytochemicals that have a high likelihood of interfering with AD, a few of which (eg. quercetin, genistein) have shown promising effects on AD pathogenesis.' Meanwhile, a study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that people who had more than half a tablespoon of olive oil a day were 28% less likely to suffer a dementia related death compared t){kind=link}
