Vitamins 'cut Alzheimer's effect'
Scientists have found vitamins E and C may protect the ageing brain - but only if taken together.
They both mop up destructive molecules, called free radicals, released by the body's metabolic processes.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland announced their findings in the journal Archives of Neurology.
Brain cells, known as neurons, are thought to be particularly sensitive to damage caused by free radicals.
Lead researcher Dr Peter Zandi said: "These results are extremely exciting.
"Our study suggests that the regular use of vitamin E in nutritional supplement doses, especially in combination with vitamin C, may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease."
