Can eating high-fat cheese lower dementia risk? Yes, but…

For decades, dietary advice has carried a clear moral lesson: fat is bad, saturated fat is worse, and full-fat dairy belongs firmly in the “limit” column. Now, a large Swedish study tracking people for a quarter of a century has unsettled that certainty, at least when it comes to the brain.
The research suggests that people who regularly consumed high-fat cheese and cream had a modestly lower risk of developing dementia later in life. Not milk. Not yoghurt. Not butter. And not low-fat dairy. Just certain full-fat dairy foods, eaten in specific amounts, by specific people.
