@cdarwin@c.imA new study has found that
eating 50 grams (1.76 ounces) or more of high-fat cheese a day
correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia.
That includes all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content,
like brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella.
The extensive, long-term study followed 27,670 adults in Sweden for around 25 years.
The findings establish an association between daily consumption of high-fat cheese
and lower demen…

@davej@dice.campBell died in office in 1851, but it’d take another 35 years before Parliament legislated the removal of MPs judged of unsound mind.
That particular instrument was only used once, to replace Charles Leach in 1916 after he was institutionalised for what may’ve been vascular dementia. The onset of #WW1 delayed a general election, whereupon an unfit MP would normally have been allowed to retire graceful…
@cdarwin@c.imDementia is tragically common among the elderly.
In 2021 57m people worldwide were thought to have the condition.
Ageing is a risk factor for many other ailments too,
ranging from chronic inflammation to a decline in organ function.
A growing body of work, however, suggests that simply taking a course of the #shingles
@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzJust that you know ... "Greater consumption of caffeinated #coffee and tea was associated with lower risk of dementia and modestly better cognitive function, with the most pronounced association at moderate intake levels" - so says the new study https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2844764?guestAccessKey=b5f53c96-c7a8-47fa-b807-8b464361c4d8 -> Daily cups of caffeinated coffee or mugs of tea may lower dementia risk: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/daily-coffee-tea-lower-dementia-risk -
a long-term observational study tracked self-reported coffee and tea consumption.
@kurtsh@mastodon.socialA 46% higher risk of dementia? Wow. Wasn't aware of the blockage of acetylcholine from certain OTC & prescribed drugs.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialFinished reading “Erasure” by Percival Everett.
“Monk”, a largely overlooked black academic author, rages at the publishing industry & writes a deliberately offensive ghetto-lit parody. They love it, offering serious money. Satire collides with financial necessity.
A savage rebuke of publishing industry racism paired with genuinely moving dementia subplot. Uneven but provocative - raises uncomfortable questions about authenticity and selling out.
4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caThis is a really really nice interview with Canadian Children's Book author Robert Munsch. It's his "last hurrah”. He's living with dementia and parkinson’s.
He's going to be leaving (MAID) at some point (not soon) but there are 50 more books that will be released after he has passed.
He just seems like a wonderful guy…

@cdarwin@c.imA new study suggests that #dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain.
Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive,
disrupting circulation and starving brain tissue.
When the missing molecule was restored, normal blood flow returned.
This discovery opens the door to new treatments aimed at fixing vascular problems in …
@markrsmith@smithtodon.orgDear Europe and others,
I've had a busy day.
I had work all day - as a hospice chaplain taking care of dying people.
This morning my mother went to the hospital for testing related to her dementia. Then, in the late afternoon she fell and had to go back for more testing. She's OK now.
And ICE shot a woman who did nothing wrong. And will probably get away free.
I'd love to protest in the streets but I'm just trying to live. I'll do what I can.
