The Cheese Dementia Connection Nobody Expected
A large, long-running study is quietly challenging decades of low-fat advice by finding that people who regularly ate full-fat cheese and cream were less likely to develop dementia later in life. Following nearly 28,000 adults for 25 years, researchers observed that just a couple slices of high-fat cheese a day or a small serving of cream was linked to a noticeably lower dementia risk, particularly for certain types tied to blood vessel health in the brain. Scientists are careful not to call cheese a cure or a superfood, but the findings raise an unexpected question about whether fermented full-fat dairy may play a protective role when it replaces less healthy foods. What’s driving the effect, who benefits most, and why low-fat versions showed no benefit at all is where the story gets especially interesting.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Blinking more often while using screens helps keep your eyes moist and reduces dryness and irritation. People tend to blink less when focused on screens, which can lead to eye strain. Making a habit of intentional blinking supports eye comfort and long-term visual health.
