Wine and cheese

Science! An Iowa State University research study has found that “diet modifications — including more wine and cheese — may help reduce cognitive decline.” Wine and cheese FTW.

Four specific findings:

Cheese, by far, was shown to be the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even late into life;

The daily consumption of alcohol, particularly red wine, was related to improvements in cognitive function;

Weekly consumption of lamb, but not other red meats, was shown to improve long-term cognitive prowess; and

Excessive consumption of salt is bad, but only individuals already at risk for Alzheimer’s Disease may need to watch their intake to avoid cognitive problems over time.

I hereby declare this study to be the final word on the subject. But don’t forget the crackers.
