A study of 27,670 adults finds that consuming full-fat cheese is associated with a lower risk of dementia.The Swedish epidemiologists followed study participants for a median of nearly 25 years, during which 3,208 developed dementia. People eating at least 50 grams of full-fat cheese daily have a 13% lower risk of all-cause dementia compared with those eating less than 15 grams. Even people without a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s have a lower statistical risk. It wasn’t only cheese. Higher intake of full-fat cream is associated with a 16% lower overall dementia risk.There is a catch-22: this was an observational study. People who ate more full-fat dairy also tende to have healthier characteristics, including lower rates of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke.So…….Don’t start wolfing down more cheese to prevent dementia. This study is intriguing, but it only shows an association, not cause and effect. The best formula for maintaining your brain is a balanced diet, exercise, and adequate sleep.References On My Website. #Dementia #BrainHealth #NutritionResearch #Cheese #HealthNewsDementia, BrainHealth, NutritionResearch, Cheese, HealthNews
