A study out of Sweden has found that eating high-fat cheese is associated with a lower risk of all forms of dementia. The researchers looked for all-cause dementia, a blanket term that includes Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia and other conditions. They found that eating 50 grams or more of high-fat cheese daily correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. Even after adjusting for age, sex, education and overall diet, people who ate more than 50 grams of high-fat cheese per day had a 13 per cent lower all-cause dementia risk than those who ate less than 15 grams. “Not all dairy products are equal when it comes to brain health,” said Sonestedt.
