Green tea 'cuts Alzheimer's risk'
An ingredient of green tea may help to protect the brain against the ravages of Alzheimer's disease, research in the US suggests.
University of South Florida scientists found the component prevented Alzheimer's-like damage in the brains of mice bred to develop symptoms.
The component - EGCG - is already strongly suspected of offering protection against certain cancers.
