Stalker was amazed at the remark by one esteemed mushroom scientist on the neuroprotective powers of the button mushroom.
Dr Robert Beelman, speaking about the properties of mushrooms which aid in the protection against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's stated and countries that have more ergothioneine in their diets, stated: “The difference between the countries with low rates of neurodegenerative diseases is about 3 milligrams per day, which is about five button mushrooms each day."
That’s is quite amazing. As he says though scientists are not yet sure if the link to ergothioneine in diets is a correlation or causative, but it’s still something that may well make consumers decide to up the mushroom intake.
