Researchers in Australia have claimed that will soon find a way to slow the process or altogether prevent Alzheimer's disease.

The membrane, which controls what is allowed into the brain, gets damaged if food containing high saturated fat is consumed, experts at Curtin University in Western Australia have found out.

Preventing deposits of protein amyloid from accumulating can delay Alzheimer's, researcher John Mamo said in an ABC report.

"If we can understand the mechanisms behind how diet influences risk for Alzheimer's disease then it becomes possible for us to think of what type of intervention strategy we might have," he said.

Mamo said it could also be possible to reverse it.
