Research Reflections: Ep. 9 | Dairy and Dementia Risk

Unpacking the latest: 

Join us as we dive into the relationship between high-fat dairy consumption and dementia risk based on a recent observational study published in December 2025.

We discuss the study's methodology, results, and the inherent limitations of observational nutrition research. While the headline suggesting that cheese and cream might reduce dementia risk sounds promising, a closer look reveals a more nuanced and less conclusive picture.

Learn about the study's context, the significance of its findings, and what this means for your diet in a real-world setting.
