I may be fat (and ugly, and let's not forget the ugly -- how could anyone forget the ugly) but I'm still smarter than you (old) skinny people (who have lost half yur marbles).
At dinner in the nursing home is heard -- "you going to eat that"?

I understand that there are several types of dementia, including at least one described as “early onset.” Can start in the 30s.

Me either! Nor that Pascha bread that I just downed (with plenty of REAL butter of course!

The obesity actually correlates with the same shrinkage of gray matter as Alzheimer’s but the obese die earlier and they don’t generally live long enough to get Alzheimer’s.

My very thin great aunt lived to 104, her brother, my grandfather her brother dies at 100 and their aunt lived to be 106. I think it is in the genes. I hope I got them, except I am not as thin as they were.

LOL..Doesn't get any better than Easter for traditional foods. I ate almost a whole roll of Makowiec bread. With butter, of course.

From the article:
Any explanation for the protective effect is distinctly lacking. There are some ideas that vitamin D and E deficiencies contribute to dementia and they may be less common in those eating more.
Link between vitamin D, dementia risk confirmed
Who'd have thunk it!

...so the noted age 55 is somewhat early for dementia onset...
____________
Actually not so early. We see a fair amount of dementia in the 50s and 60s.

Bovine Satology.
My Grandmother (God Rest her Soul) was overweight, and developed demetia., as did HER Mother.
More waste of taxpayer dollars on a study that I bet, in just a few years, ANOTHER study will say is wrong.
