Video: Ginko Biloba Trees and Extracts

By Joe Schwarcz — May 23, 2021
Extracts from the Ginko Biloba tree have long been used as naturopathic remedies for issues like memory loss and cognitive impairment. But is there any scientific evidence to support their use?

 

 

And if the pods produced by the ginko tree smell horrific, why are bears specifically attracted to them? Dr. Joe Schwarcz, the director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, and friend of ACSH, addresses those issues -- and more.
