The research was an early stage, preliminary study, meaning its conclusions do not prove that Alzheimer’s is definitely caused by grilled food – but it is worth noting the risks.
However, there are also other risk factors of having a BBQ containing lots of meat like hot dogs and burgers.
Other studies have strongly linked eating processed meat and red meat to a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), showed that alongside the buildup of plaques in the brain, many people with Alzheimer’s had high levels of iron built-up in parts of their brain.
