ULM pharmacy researchers link olive oil to preventing cancer, Alzheimer’s

In the summer of 1965, a team of researchers at the University of Florida formulated a carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage to help their football players cope with heat and heat-related illnesses. Since the university football team is the Florida Gators, they named the breakthrough thirst-quenching beverage Gatorade. Today, two researchers at the University of Louisiana Monroe are developing a product which they believe could have an even greater benefit – prevention of two of humanity’s most devastating illnesses, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
