Limit Dairy to Safeguard Brain Health

Dairy products, particularly whole milk, are linked to increased LDL cholesterol levels, which heightens the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Reducing dairy intake, as observed in the Mind Diet study, likely contributed to lowering LDL cholesterol by a significant margin. While nonfat dairy products can be consumed, they lack essential fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, unless they are fortified. Thus, nonfat options may not be as nutritious. Furthermore, plant-based milks can also contain unhealthy ingredients, highlighting the need to scrutinize choices in both dairy and plant-based alternatives.
