> The matched subjects who ate meat (including poultry and fish) were more than twice as likely to become demented as their vegetarian counterparts (relative risk 2.18, p = 0.065) and the discrepancy was further widened (relative risk 2.99, p = 0.048) when past meat consumption was taken into account https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8327020/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8327020/

That's a small observational study from 1993, with p>.05 outside of the subgroup analysis. Whatever search strategy led you to it is severely flawed.

    > While we did not find statistically significant evidence to support an association of consuming relatively more plant- and fewer animal-based foods with the risk of dementia, our HR of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.86–1.01) for the hPDI cannot rule out a subtle beneficial effect of healthy plant-based eating on the brain. "cannot rule out a subtle effect". Otherwise not statistically significant. Great.

      it doesn't seem like plant food causes Alzheimer though

        Oh, yeah. Sorry, that makes sense.

I get migraines from plant and seed oils, my thought on this is, that they're kinda rancid. You can't get them fresh enough in the supermarket. The one oil I didn't get strong migraine from was fresh olive oil. You're also looking at a time-window of 1-5 days, depending on your metabolism.
