Sounds cool, but there are lots of missing data from your
posting...
1) What type of tissue did they study? Was it rat brain?
Bird-brain?, cat brain? Can this be correlated with human brain?
2) Is there a strong association with activity of those
enzymes in human dementia?
3) Are there other co-factors involved with development of
Alzheimers?
4) Will the "active" ingredients once identified, be toxic
on their own right? (i.e. could they inhibit AChesterase
in let's say the vagus nerve?)
5) Are there aged people who are alert, bright, cogent
without tea?
6) Are there animal models of Alz. dementia that we could
test this hypotheses on?
Just a few of the questions which come to mind(without tea!).

I do know for sure, that if John Kerry is President, those
Alzheimers patients will all be able to think clearly again!

They have not published the paper yet in Phytotherapy Research. You may check this link later this week for the October issue (I guess):
