A study of over 133,000 individuals found that consuming processed red meat daily increases dementia risk by up to 13%, while replacing it with alternatives like nuts, legumes, or fish may lower the risk by 20%.

We asked nutrition experts how consumers can make informed and healthy choices about eating red meat.

People who eat more processed red meat have a greater risk of developing cognitive decline and dementia than those who eat very little red meat, a new study has found.
