Peanut Butter and Alzheimers

2013-10-10 23:14:16.220575+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

University of Florida researchers find that ‘peanut butter’ test can help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.

Jennifer Stamps, a graduate student in the UF McKnight Brain Institute Center for Smell and Taste, and her colleagues reported the findings of a small pilot study in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences.

Patients with Alzheimers were less sensitive to the smell of peanut butter in their left nostril than their right one.
