Summary:
- This study found that people who regularly consumed high-fat dairy products like cheese and cream were less likely to develop dementia later in life.
- The researchers followed over 1,000 older adults for 22 years and found that those who ate the most high-fat dairy had a 42% lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who ate the least.
- The study suggests that the high levels of nutrients and healthy fats in dairy products may have protective effects on brain health and help prevent cognitive decline as people age.
