Waster (talk • contribs) inserted the news item that taking B vitamins was not helpful. This has not been published yet - it was an abstract at the European Society of Cardiology, presented on 5/9/2005 by Bonaa KH et al [1] [2]. I think we should scan the literature in a few months to see which large journal will be publishing this finding. JFW | T@lk 16:58, 6 September 2005 (UTC)


This is incomprehensible:

As B12 is inefficiently absorbed from food by elderly persons they could gain a greater benefit from taking vitamin supplements.

Greater than from what? Which of the mentioned vitamins? --Espoo 20:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Dementia

I do believe there is a possible link between homocysteine levels and dementia. Does anyone want to verify and add this? Kenkoo1987 01:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that there is definitely link between homocysteine neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzeimer's Disease ,Dementia etc.All mechanisms by which it is achieved is explained in article I have referred to.Its interesting to read and understand.
