February 21, 2003 As reprted on CNN, Friday, February 21, 2003, a recent report and study showed that those consuming oils high in unsaturated fats rather than saturated fats were half as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Further, those consuming oils with Omega-6 essential fatty acids had a 70% reduced risk.
