Cheese, Red Wine, & Lamb Helps To Protect Cognitive Decline

[RAMROD 117,036]

The study was spearheaded by principal investigator, Auriel Willette, an assistant professor in Food Science and Human Nutrition, and Brandon Klinedinst, a Neuroscience Ph.D. candidate working in the Food Science and Human Nutrition department at Iowa State. The study is a first-of-its-kind large scale analysis that connects specific foods to later-in-life cognitive acuity.

Willette, Klinedinst, and their team analyzed data collected from 1,787 aging adults (from 46 to 77 years of age at the completion of the study) in the United Kingdom through the UK Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database and research resource containing in-depth genetic and health information from half-a-million UK participants. 

Here are four of the most significant findings from the study:

1) Cheese, by far, was shown to be the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even late into life;

2) The daily consumption of alcohol, particularly red wine, was related to improvements in cognitive function;

3) Weekly consumption of lamb, but not other red meats, was shown to improve long-term cognitive prowess; and

4) Excessive consumption of salt is bad, but only individuals already at risk for Alzheimer’s Disease may need to watch their intake to avoid cognitive problems over time.

“I was pleasantly surprised that our results suggest that responsibly eating cheese and drinking red wine daily are not just good for helping us cope with our current COVID-19 pandemic, but perhaps also dealing with an increasingly complex world that never seems to slow down,” Willette said.

Klinedinst added, “Depending on the genetic factors you carry, some individuals seem to be more protected from the effects of Alzheimers, while other seem to be at greater risk. That said, I believe the right food choices can prevent the disease and cognitive decline altogether.

@RAMROD Wait omg but I thought cheese was bad for your brain because of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)?

That is not true at all, and it is natural glutamate found in cheese, which body are perfectly able to metabolize.

Also MSG is considered safe by FDA since they investigate it it in the 1990s. The FDA says the body metabolizes MSG the same way it does the natural glutamate found in foods like tomatoes and cheese. Only the most sensitive person would feel a headache after consumming 3 grams or more of it. It was just a product xenophobia and sinophobia.
