7g daily olive oil consumption linked to 28% lower dementia-related death risk: Harvard study.
A new Harvard study found that consuming at least 7 grams (half a tablespoon) of olive oil daily could lower the risk of dementia-related death by 28% compared to those who never or rarely consumed olive oil. The research, involving 92,000 adults over 28 years, is the first to investigate whether the Mediterranean diet staple is linked with risk of death from dementia. The study reinforces dietary guidelines recommending vegetable oils such as olive oil, suggesting they could potentially support both heart and brain health.
