Disease Researchers Dept: The study by Canadian researchers in the journal Cortex offers the first physical evidence that speaking more than one language delays the onset of disease, according to CBC. "This is unheard of no medicine comes close to delaying the onset of symptoms and now we have the evidence to prove this at the neuroanatomical level," Tom Schweizer, a neuroscientist who headed the research, said in a release and bilingualism may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease, a brain scanning study suggests. A pedestrian passes a stop sign displayed in both English and Inuktitut in Iqaluit. Bilingualism appears to contribute to increased cognitive reserve, thereby delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease, researchers say. Nathan Denette/Canadian Press (www.immigrantscanada.com).
