Yeah I don't see how this is anything except a correlation, and the article is so sparse on analysis and data that it seems more misleading than informative. I've read before that exercising your mental capacity can also have a protective effect against loss of cognition in later life. I wonder if this study has any evidence that these food choices (lamb, wine, and cheese) are anything except a correlation for something that more intellectual people might tend to eat. The possibility wasn't even addressed, and no mechanism was suggested to explain why these foods would prevent cognitive decline. And then this line: "That said, I believe the right food choices can prevent the disease and cognitive decline altogether. " Really? That's a bold claim and I'd love to know what it is based on.
