Speaking to Express.co.uk in August, Doctor Sara Imarisio, Head of Research at Alzheimer’s Research UK spoke about the problem of cause and effect.
As the doc explained, it can be difficult to tease apart the impact of specific dietary decisions from other factors that can affect dementia risk, and “we don’t yet know how much our choice of beverage can affect the development of diseases like Alzheimer’s”.
Nonetheless, “fizzy drinks, soft drinks, juices and adding excessive amounts of sugar to hot drinks have also been linked to an increased risk of dementia in some studies because of the effect sugar has on increasing our likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease”, she said.
According to Mr Batt, you should also avoid eating too many fried foods, such as chips, crisps and baked goods using vegetable (rapeseed (canola), soybean, sunflower, and corn) oils.
