Full-Fat Cheese May Lower Risk of Dementia, Study Finds

**Islamabad:** A recent study has revealed that consuming full-fat cheese may reduce the risk of developing dementia. Published in the *Journal of Neurology*, the research found that individuals who ate 50 grams or more of full-fat cheese daily had a 13% lower risk of dementia compared to those who consumed only 15 grams.

The study highlights that cheeses such as cheddar, brie, and gouda—containing more than 20% fat—can be particularly beneficial, and just a couple of slices per day may help protect brain health. This research adds to growing evidence that certain dietary fats can play a protective role against cognitive decline.
