10p pill to beat Alzheimer's disease: Vitamin B halts memory loss in breakthrough British trial

The Daily Mail reports:
A simple vitamin pill could prevent millions from suffering the agony of Alzheimer's.

The tablet, costing as little as 10p a day and made up of three vitamin B supplements, cut brain shrinkage linked to memory loss by up to 500 per cent.

Oxford University researchers behind the landmark study said it offered the 'first glimmer of hope' in the battle to find a drug that slows or stops the development of Alzheimer's.
