This study found that patients diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's had no further progression of the disease when they took therapeutic levels of fish oil (1.7 grams of DHA and .6 grams of EFA). People with more advanced Alzheimer's received no benefit however.
While the study does not say it, one might surmise from this that using Fish Oil could be a great preventative measure. American's are sorely deficient in Omega 3 oils due to our overuse of vegetable oils and we simply don't eat enough Omega 3's. There are many great fish oils out there to take and Jigsaw Health has a good one here.
