BOSTON -- Local researchers are studying whether drinking a daily shake can help stave off memory loss.

Researchers at Tufts University are launching a clinical trial to see whether drinking a specially designed healthy shake every day can help people control their weight and prevent memory loss as they age.

They're recruiting people over 55 who are overweight or obese with no serious memory problems at baseline. If you'd like more information, go to their website.
