Cinnamon can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease

After many experiments, Israeli scientists found that the extract of CEppt in cinnamon can slow the development of Alzheimer's disease.

According to a new Israeli study published in PLoS ONE, cinnamon - a spice often associated with sweet foods - has properties that can slow the Alzheimer's attack, leading to a therapy. effectively treat this disease.

Alzheimer 's disease is a gradual degeneration of the brain with significant memory loss. Histologically, there are nerve fibers and amyloid degenerate arrays in the brain. The World Health Organization reports that about 70,000 Israelis, out of 18 million people worldwide, have been diagnosed with this disease.

A research team, led by Michael Ovadia from Tel Aviv University 's Zoology Department, recently extracted one of the cinnamon ingredients, CEppt, and used it in a series of experiments with mice. .

After drinking water containing CEppt solution for more than four months, the researchers found the development of Alzheimer's disease in slowed mouse owners. Further analysis of the results showed that the degenerated amyloids had decayed.

"This finding suggests that CEppt may not only prevent Alzheimer's disease but also contain traits that treat this disease, " Ovadia said . This discovery is a breakthrough. '

Ovadia said that while some companies are developing synthetic drugs that dominate Alzheimer's disease, CEppt is a 'natural and safe ' substance that does not cause side effects.

The team is considering testing this finding in other animals before officially applying it to people with Alzheimer's disease.
