I mentioned before that higher blood sugar levels (on the high end of "normal")were associated with shrinkage of memory centers in the brain (hippocampus), and that Diabetes doubles the risk of Alzheimer's. This study showed a connection between higher omega 3's in the blood (EPA and DHA), and larger brain volumes specifically in the hippocampus. Thus omega 3's may prevent shrinkage of the brain. With Alzheimer's the brain shrinks (atrophy),especially the hippocampus, even before symptoms occur.
