Recently read post "Natural product found to reduce the level of damaged cells in the body, caused by aging" [www.sciencedaily.com]

linked to article "Fisetin is a senotherapeutic that extends health and lifespan" [www.ebiomedicine.com]

Was very interested in the results "Fisetin treatment extended the health and lifespan in WT mice even when treatment was initiated in aged animals. This flavonoid is a natural compound present in many fruits and vegetables such as apples, persimmon, grapes, onions, cucumbers and strawberries [43,44], suggesting that it is imminently translatable. Importantly, no adverse effects offisetin have been reported, even when given at high doses [45]....Fisetin, a high Trolox-equivalent antioxidant, is present in low concentrations in many fruits and vegetables such as apples, persimmon, grapes, onions, and cucumbers and at higher concentrations in strawberries [43,44]. The average dietary intake of naturally occurring fisetin in Japan is approximately 0.4 mg/day [78,79], apparently without any adverse effects."

Was able to locate ref 43 Fisetin: A Dietary Antioxidant for Health Promotion [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] which listed Fisetin levels for 9 fruits and vegetables and referenced this to Kimira M, Arai Y, Shimoi K, and Watanabe S. Japanese intake of flavonoids and isoflavonoids from foods. J Epidemiol
8: 168–175, 1998 [www.jstage.jst.go.jp]

Have been searching for a newer larger Fisetin reference for fruits and vegetables but to date have not found any.

Before posting did a Forum search to check if anyone has already posted a similar question but only got "Phorum Database Error Sorry, a Phorum database error occurred. Please try again later!" Did with same result so decided to post.

Thanks

Alzheimer's Disease

- The Beginning of Memory Issues

Mary Newport's husband, Steve, was 51 years old when he began to experience memory issues.

"[He was] making payroll mistakes, having trouble organizing his accounting and he began forgetting if he'd been to the bank in the post office, which was very odd. He was only two years older than me and I didn't think I would forget that type of thing."

- Diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Finding Treatment

In 2004, Steve was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease at the age of 54 years old. Doctors found that he carried an early onset form of the disease which occurs in about 2% of people with Alzheimer's Disease and among individuals who are less than 65 years old.

In an attempt to help her husband, Mary began her own research online. She learned information about ketone bodies as an alternative fuel for the brain. A new and promising medical food was to be released the following year that served as a source for ketone bodies. In clinical trials, the medical food improved the memories of nearly half of all Alzheimer's Disease patients tested.

There was recently a story in the news that a man by the name of Joel Maldonado had allegations of sexual abuse, domestic violence, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest - yet he was still able to land a job at an assisted living facility in Florida. So the issue of background checking nursing home employees has been brought up in recent news due to sexual abuse allegations by elderly patients towards their care givers. It is so important to research the facility before enrolling your loved one into a nursing home - so many factors affect your loved ones safety once they are in the elder home. First, a lot of elders lose their credibility if they have Dementia or Alzheimer's due to their impaired memory and unfortunately, it seems like some caregivers take advantage of that. Second of all, in many cases, caregivers are hired sometimes even if they have sexual abuse allegations pending or previous criminal charges.

I found these nursing home abuse pages helpful in my research -
