There's a new sign that fish really may be brain food.
A study suggests that older people who eat fish at least once a week may cut their risk of Alzheimer's disease by more than half.
People 65 and older who had fish once a week had a 60 percent lower risk of Alzheimer's than those who never or rarely ate fish.
Meals included tuna sandwiches, fishsticks and shellfish. Amounts eaten were not specified.
A researcher says fish is rich in an omega-three fatty acid that's believed to be important for brain development. But she says it's still too soon to be sure fish has properties that can fight Alzheimer's.
