Recently, in Tucson, I discussed the role of Advanced Glycation products and their role in promoting inflammation in the body. Furthermore, these products (AGE) were known to have several degenerative mechanistic roles - in particular, the active release of histamine from Mast Cells. AGE products can also motivate this direction from using ROS (reactive oxygenic species) in pushing the release of histamine from these mast cells.
Lately, I was looking up some preventative measures against AGE and ROS mediated inflammatory processes and I was able to find a cure that used the same anachronism as AGE: aged garlic extract. It is believed that Garlic, under proper conditions, can be a tool in preventing ROS compounds from reacting and having the numerous counterbalances on the body. This is mainly tied to its anti-oxidation effects.

If one things about it, Garlic could also prevent measures of advanced glycation, since the chemistry of these compounds can be comparable to ROS. They just seem to be highly oxygenated components that haven't experienced a proper experience with cellular metabolism.
From my perspective, I see this as being an active stride against neurodegenerative disease. But, the article seems to be more concerned about it preventing cardiovascular disease and aging - not to say that it couldn't have a pivotal role in keeping neurological order in tact. Let's keep in mind here that these are all inflammatory-related diseases.
