Benefits of grapes and other fruits in blue and purple in preventing dementia have been studied scientifically. Recent research reveals how it works, ie by binding toxic metals in the brain.

Toxins are compounds that form hydroxyl radicals from the iron that is not tied to perfection. In the brain, accumulation of these compounds cause cell damage and the emergence of one disease memepercepat degenerative dementia.

To neutralize the toxic effects caused, requires iron-binding compounds called chelator. These compounds will bind and detoxify iron so that they no longer harm brain cells.

One source of chelator easily found in everyday foods are fruits and vegetables, especially the blue or purple. Green tea, grapes and blueberries are examples of foods with high content of chelator.

A professor from the University of Manchester, Douglas Kell revealed that in a recent study. His discovery was published in the journal Archives of Toxicology, which was published recently.
