Food families associated with dementia include processed meats, starches, and sugary, fatty snacks. Epidemiologists at France's University of Bordeaux and Harvard Medical School studied 627 participants analyzing their dietary habits and the incidence of dementia over a 12 year follow up period.
Those developing dementia consumed diets centered around animal-based foods including many nitrite-containing processed meats. They frequently co-consumed starchy breads, pasta, and rice, snack foods including pastries, and high fat dairy items such as yogurts and cheese. Those free of dementia consumed diets centered on plant-based products emphasizing healthier fruits and vegetables and a high degree of food variety.
Relatively meat-less moderation is the key.
