Brain Health and Dementia Risk Signals Are Emerging
Research into brain health is newer, but the patterns align with what is known about vascular and metabolic health.
At the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, researchers reported that: Consuming about two servings per week of processed red meat was associated with a 14% higher risk of dementia compared with eating less than three servings per month.
This is an association, not proof of causation—but it adds another reason for caution, especially in people with high blood pressure or diabetes.
