Korean red ginseng (steam treated Panax C.A. Meyer), among most prized traditional herbal remedies, has been clinically shown to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Whether this holds true for the dried non-steamed variety, known as white (KWG) is unclear. This study therefore, investigated efficacy and safety of escalating doses KWG on vascular glycemic parameters in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Using an acute, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover design, 25...

Although greater flavonoid intake is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD), evidence relating dietary to brain health based on MRI lacking. The objective this study was explore the association between measures health, including total tissue volume (TBV), white matter hyperintensities (WMHV), hippocampal (HV). Eligible subjects included members Framingham Heart Study Offspring Cohort who were free stroke at exam 7 had least 1 valid food...
