Research shows that people who avoid “bad fats”—the kind found in meat, eggs, and dairy products—cut their risk of Alzheimer’s disease by about two-thirds. A recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease suggests that Alzheimer’s disease is becoming more prevalent in developing countries where people are now eating more animal fat. But “bad fats” are only part of the problem. Meat, including lobster, shrimp, and some other kinds of “seafood,” is often high in metals—iron, copper, and zinc—which have been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. While we need traces of these metals for our health and we get them from plant foods, meats tend to overdose us, which can “trigger” Alzheimer’s disease. But eating healthy plant foods rather than animal-based ones helps boost our intake of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other brain-beneficial substances that can lower our risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.   According to Dr. Neal Barnard, the president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and author of Power […]
