Red Meat Tied to Increased Dementia Risk The May 2025 Harvard Health Letter reports that a Harvard study published February 11, 2025 in Neurology links processed red meat consumption to dementia. The study involved more than 133,000 people who regularly reported their health and diet information for more than four decades. They also took cognitive tests and reported how often they noticed memory problems. Compared with those who said they ate the least amount of processed red meat, those who reported eating the equivalent of a couple of slices of bacon had a 13% higher risk of developing dementia later in life, and a 14% higher risk of experiencing cognitive decline. For every extra serving per day of processed meat, there was an increase of 1.6 years in the speed of cognitive aging. For unprocessed red meat like steak or lamb, people who ate the equivalent of a daily serving (about the size of a deck of cards) also had a higher risk of self-observed cognitive decline, compared to those who ate the equivalent of less than a half of a serving daily. Harvard Letter notes that the study is observational and can not prove causation. Nevertheless, they add that the connection is plausible, since red meats are loaded with harmful chemicals, which promote brain cell damage. Harvard Letter adds that the good news is that replacing one serving of processed meat with nuts or legumes lowers dementia by 19 per cent. * * * I can't remember when I last ate a hamburger and certainly don't plan to start now. The big burgers you see on TV obviously have appeal, but this study makes you want to say "NO." As I've written over and over the best diet is a balance of whole foods. It tastes good and fills you up before you overshoot your calorie needs. I also suggest putting out what you plan to eat and no more. If you really want more get up and get it. My experience is that you're more than likely to change your mind before you get to the refrigerator.
