Ginkgo Biloba Doesn't Slow Mental Decline
"Dec. 29, 2009 - The hot-selling herbal supplement ginkgo biloba doesn't slow age-related mental decline, a six-year clinical study shows.
The study has already shown that ginkgo does not prevent dementia or Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.
Now study leader Steven T. DeKosky, MD, and colleagues have sifted through the data to look for some sign that ginkgo might slow mental decline in healthy, aging individuals -- or, perhaps, in those already showing the first signs of cognitive impairment.
No such sign was found.
"Compared with placebo, the use of Ginkgo biloba, 120 mg twice daily, did not result in less cognitive decline in older adults with normal cognition or with mild cognitive impairment," the researchers conclude."

Right-click anywhere on the page and select “boolean” under the “New” menu item. You will see a dialog box, type “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to true.
This setting let the memory allocated for the browser window to get stored in the hard disk instead of RAM, when it is minimized, thus making your computer main memory inevitable to the minimization of the browser.
