Oh thank god
“*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?
The most consistent message remains that balanced diets, moderation and overall lifestyle matter far more than any single item on the cheese board.
New study: Scientists no fun, total downers
The war on saturated fat has been a false flag campaign, fat has been blammed for the damage glucose has caused.
Myelin sheathes in the brain are made up largely of lipids. Without cholesterol, they fail to form. Perhaps these results are unsurprising.
So, people without a genetic risk of Alzheimer's those who happen to eat 50g of cheese per day have a 13% to 17% lower risk of Alzheimer's. Similarly with cream.
It also appears to say that eating more cheese provides no additional risk mitigation.
This lay person's opinion is it's probably true that dairy fats are an important contribution to infant brain development and that small amounts probably aid brain health later in life.
However, that's probably true over 28,000 people. Adding cheese to your personal diet will probably do nothing.
