Study shows tocotrienols in palm oil protect brain cells In a study published in the prestigious Journal of Biological Chemistry (April 2000), researchers at the University of California, Berkeley found that tocotrienols, especially alpha-tocotrienol, protects glutamate-induced death of neuronal cells (brain cells). This study also provided the first evidence describing the molecular basis of tocotrienol action.  Tocotrienols are a special, … Continue reading Palm Oil Protects Your Brain
