Fat causes cognitive decline

I swore off being a dime-store neurologist, but this stuff always grabs my attention.


From Huffington Post:  Saturated Fat Linked To Cognitive Decline and Poor Memory Among Women


a study published online today by the Annals of Neurology, a journal of the American Neurological Association and Child Neurology Society, associated one particular bad fat - saturated - with worse overall cognitive function and memory in women over time.

....
Women who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fat, which can come from animal fats such as red meat and butter, compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts, had worse overall cognition and memory over the four years of testing.
