Eating one slice of bacon every day increases the likelihood of developing senile dementia by 44%. This is another study on the dangers of processed meat.
Consumption of processed meat in the form of sausages, bacon and sausage significantly increases the risk of developing senile dementia, as the study showed.
His findings suggest that even one slice of bacon every day increases the risk of developing this incurable disease by a staggering 44%. And some of us cannot think of a day without sausages, sausages or burgers.
However, meat-eaters should not despair, as the scientists who conducted this study also found that eating unprocessed meat, including beef, pork and lamb, can protect against senile dementia.
During the observations, people who received 25 g of processed meat per day had a 44% higher risk of developing senile dementia, taking into account all other risk factors. But those who received 50 g of unprocessed meat were almost 20% less likely to develop dementia.
Scientists from the University of Leeds investigated the possible connection between meat consumption and senile dementia based on information on 500 people.
Dementia remains an incurable disease, and when it already occurs, it is still impossible not only to cure it, but even to slow it down. In this regard, it is extremely important to engage in prevention and know about the risk factors of this disease, and how to reduce its danger.
