Here is an interview with one of the researchers of this study from the Dec 12th
program of the podcast "C'est la vie" on Radio-Canada. He also says that speaking 3 or more languages is even better.. C'est la Vie - Dec 12 2010 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hmm well my grandmother spoke about 5 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian) and she had Alzheimers by age 60 which is pretty young. Maybe she was just an exception I guess.

Nothing can protect one entirely from such unfortunate illnesses, though a healthy life both for body and brain can decrease the risk for Alzheimers to brake out. Some people are lucky, some just unlucky. But, if it can minimize the risk of getting Alzheimers it’s a good reason to learn more languages :). 1 person has voted this message useful |
