In a study published in the JAMA journal Neurology suggests that saturated fat can reduce the amount of chemicals apolipoprotein (ApoE) in charge of clearing amyloid beta protein in the brain. The more saturated fat consumed, the more well amyloid that accumulate in the brain.
If this is left unchecked, it could form the amyloid plaques in the brain and interfere with nerve function. Such plaques are found in people with Alzheimer's and related to the suspected cause of the brain disease.
"Amyloid is not cleared from the brain could be toxic," said researcher Suzanne Craft, of the Wake Forest School of Medicine, as reported by U.S. News.
These results were found after researchers observed 20 healthy seniors with brain states and 27 seniors with cognitive problems and the signs of Alzheimer's. They were asked to go on a diet that contains a lot of saturated fat and no.
Through this study, researchers recommend that more people start avoiding foods that contain a lot of saturated fat and eat more foods that can make brain healthy.
