Vitamins don't reduce stroke risk
Taking certain vitamins to reduce blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart disease, does not help prevent strokes, according to recent research. Another study has found that the presence of certain antibodies tied to clotting problems doesn't diminish the stroke-preventing benefits of blood thinning drugs like aspirin and Coumadi...

Important link to Alzheimer's found
Scientists have announced that they have discovered a link between the chances of developing Alzheimer's disease and an amino acid called homocysteine found in the blood. A test for this homocysteine could therefore identify the level of future risk of Alzheimer's in certain people. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disorder, which destroys b...
