Ginkgo 'does not treat dementia'

How can it be?

"A herbal extract used by an estimated 10% of people with dementia is not an effective treatment for it, an Imperial College London study suggests.

Ginkgo biloba is commonly marketed as an aid to memory and some studies have reported benefits.

But a six-month trial of 176 people with mild to moderate dementia found no difference between those taking ginkgo biloba and those taking placebo."

Easy.

More hype from the corrupt supplement industry.

Perhaps there is a diagnostic silver lining here in cases where the diagnosis of dementia is uncertain.

Taking ginkgo for dementia, might be proof that one has dementia.
