Certain diets allegedly linked to Alzheimer’s Disease - Lexology

Certain diets allegedly linked to Alzheimer’s Disease - Lexology: A recent study has reportedly claimed that diets high in calories and animal fat are associated with increased rates of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Japan and eight other countries. William Grant, "Trends in Diet and Alzheimer’s Disease During the Nutrition Transition in Japan and Developing Counties," Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, September 2013. Using nutrition data supplied by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center Director William Grant compared AD trends in Japan with changes in national dietary supply factors, alcohol consumption and lung cancer mortality rates over 25 years, in addition to comparing AD trends in eight developing countries with changes in national dietary supply factors over the same time period.
