15 Mar 2019 --- A weekly serving of more than three-quarters of a cup of cooked mushrooms – the equivalent of 300 grams – may help facilitate the alleviation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in seniors by up to 50 percent. This is according to a six-year study conducted from 2011 to 2017 by researchers at the Department of Psychological Medicine and Department of Biochemistry at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
