Lifetime Lead Exposure Triples Alzheimer’s Risk

Think lead is a problem of the past? New research shows that lead stored in your bones for decades could triple your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. By tracking thousands of adults, scientists have discovered that historical exposure to leaded gas and paint is a "silent" driver of nearly 1 in 5 dementia cases.

Memory Rewritten: Study Finds No Clear Line Between Episodic and Semantic Retrieval

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems. Researchers found that retrieving personal memories and general knowledge activates overlapping neural regions, a discovery that could reshape our understanding of dementia.

Dairy Consumption Linked to Lower Dementia Risk

A large 25-year study found that people who ate more high-fat cheese and high-fat cream had a lower risk of developing dementia, though the results only show an association—not proof of protection. Participants who consumed the highest amounts of high-fat cheese had a 13% lower dementia risk overall and a 29% lower risk of vascular dementia.
