There was a recent finding that shows that there is an antioxidant found in green tea that appears to prevent the development of amyloid fibrils which is a toxic protein that is associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

The Amyloid plaque can be seen in the brains of Alzhemier’s patients which is known to disrupt the function of cells. Many studies aim to prevent the development of amyloid plaque in order to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Just recently, a German team found out that the tea antioxidant called epillocatechin gallate has an anti-plaque ability. Hopefully, as they push the study a little further, Alzheimer’s disease will be treated with greater accuracy.
