“*Among adults without a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s, eating more full-fat cheese was associated with a noticeably lower risk of developing the disease, while higher cream intake was tied to reduced dementia risk overall. The findings challenge decades of low-fat dietary advice but come with important caveats.”

A surprising finding! Unfortunately followed by many paragraphs saying don't eat more cheese unless you're currently eating none.

And a conclusion:

That said, the data do not justify eating large amounts of cheese or cream as protective foods against dementia or heart disease. The most consistent message remains that balanced diets, moderation and overall lifestyle matter far more than any single item on the cheese board.

Not really

Low fat high carb diets are causes diabetes left and right

And dementia is often called type 3 diabetes by some researchers.. can you guess why?
