Researchers Find a Relationship between Meat Consumption and Increased Risk of Dementia

A recent study found that eating just one rasher of smoked meat a day can increase your chances of developing the disease by 44%. The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Scientists from the University of Leeds Group of Nutritional Epidemiology used data from 500,000 people. It found that consuming a 25 gram serving of processed meat a day, the equivalent of one rasher of bacon, was associated with a 44% increased risk of developing the disease.

However, meat lovers need not worry, as their findings also suggest that eating some unprocessed red meat, such as beef or veal, can be protective. The reason is, people who consume 50 grams a day are 19% less likely to develop dementia.

Researchers are exploring the potential link between meat consumption and the development of dementia, a health condition that affects 5% to 8% of 60s worldwide.
