Low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association.
People who regularly ate higher-fat cheese and cream had a lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years, while low-fat dairy and other dairy foods showed no clear association, according to a new study.
Those who consumed 50 grams per day or more of high-fat cheese daily – roughly a third of a cup – had a lower overall risk of dementia, vascular dementia, a form of cognitive decline caused by impaired blood flow to the brain, according to the 25-year Swedish study of nearly 28,000 people published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
People who averaged at least 20 grams of high-fat cream – about one and a half tablespoons – also showed a lower dementia risk, the study indicated.
However, the study did not find similar benefits for low-fat cheese, low-fat cream or butter. Milk consumption, whether high- or low-fat, also did not lower dementia risk.
According to Emily Sonestedt, an associate professor at Lund University and senior author of the study, the reason full-fat cheese and cream show benefits for the brain while whole milk does not could be down to differences in nutrition and how these products fit into people’s diets.
"Cheese is fermented, which produces bioactive compounds that may influence inflammation and blood vessels. Cream is usually used in home-cooked meals, not consumed in large quantities on its own," Sonestedt told ABC News. "Milk intake, on the other hand, varies more across diet patterns and doesn't have the same fermentation process."
New dementia cases in US projected to double to 1 million by 2060: Study Source and quality of dairy may matter too, Dr. Richard Isaacson, a neurologist specializing in dementia prevention at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease, told ABC News.

In a month it’ll be the opposite
Bel Paese cheese, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and sour cream are staples around my place.
The human brain is made primarily out of fat and believe or not, cholesterol. Cholesterol is an insulator, and so just like rubber on a wire your brain uses cholesterol to keep electrical signals insulated from one another. Which is why in our society, of course are better as want us to do away with fat and a cholesterol.
wow, my speech to text did a number on that. I meant to say that our betters want to do away with our eating of fat and cholesterol.
Guess I’ll never get dementia then
That is thge only phrase that matters. Sensible people know to balance what they eat, and cheese and milk fat are an important part of any diet, in moderation.
I’m assuming it’s C-15 which cheese and butter are rich in.
If their study is as accurate as their measurement it means nothing.
50 grams is just over 2 ounces. That’s a quarter cup imperial measure.
A “metric cup” is 250 grams. 50 grams is 1/5 cup.
We have been told for years that fat and cholesterol are bad, and now suddenly fat is good. I suppose the near epidemic levels of dementia might be an indicator that we were misled about much of our diet over the last 75 years.
What do you think?
I was just arguing with The Wife over my preference for WHOLE milk vs that watery 2% or skim nonsense. Gonna show this to her. IN HER FACE !!!
Exactly. I’m so SICK of these foolish/meaningless studies.
Love hearing this cause I am a cheese addict. All kinds of cheese.
Whole milk is the only milk.
I drink enough of it.
Milk was good enough for Barnaby Jones.
.
Shamrock half and half
whole cottage cheese
Culvers Custard
Pizza with mozzerella
Reddi Whip (or Cabot version when available)
Butter
All compatible with low carb diet.
I’m satisfied
I remember how Julia Child used to have nothing but scorn for the idea of “Low-Fat Diets.”
I think the fact that she lived well into her nineties probably speaks for itself. :P
Usn kids used to eat the cream that got pushed up from freezing milk in glass bottles left on our porch by the milkman on winter mornings.
Why I’ve got my marbles.
Ping
All those years of supposedly "healthy" low fat diets were merely to create more dementia ridden dems!
Good thing for me I resisted!
