and unsaturated fats from milk products and spreads were some of the healthy components whereas sausages eggs sweets sugary drinks salty fish and saturated fats from milk products and spreads were indicated as unhealthy.
Previous studies on diet and dementia have focused mainly on the impact of single dietary components.
Higher intake of saturated fats linked to poorer cognitive functions and increased risk of dementiathe impact of dietary fats on cognitive performance and the risk of dementia was studied separately as well.
A high intake of saturated fats was linked to poorer cognitive and memory functions and to an increased risk of mild cognitive impairment in a 21-year follow-up.
It was shown also that a higher saturated fat intake was associated with an increased risk of dementia among those carrying a genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease the epsilon 4 variant of the apolipoprotein E (Apoe) gene.
Even those who are genetically susceptible can at least delay the onset of the disease by favouring vegetable oils oil-based spreads

The global demand for palm oil has spiked in recent years as processed food manufacturers have sought an alternative to trans fats.
So-called extremely low-volatility organic compounds which are produced by plants could be detected for the first time during field and laboratory experiments in Finland and Germany.
and theories about how volatile organic compounds produced by vegetation are converted into atmospheric aerosol--especially over forested regions.
Forests emit large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC. Their reaction products form the so-called secondary organic aerosol.
These extremely low-volatility organic compounds (ELVOC) have been detected hardly so far and their possible formation pathways are very speculative.
We managed to present the first molecular evidence of a direct and ubiquitous source of ELVOCS arising from the oxidation of monoterpenes and other volatile organic compounds in the gas phase.
Eating strawberries also improved other parameters such as the general plasma lipid profile antioxidant biomarkers (such as Vitamin c or oxygen radical absorbance capacity) antihemolytic defences and platelet function.

BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat which is related to the risk of life-threatening diseases.
Meanwhile some 2 billion people suffer from deficiencies in micronutrients most importantly iron vitamin A iodine and zinc.
This typically results from not eating enough foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as animal-source foods fruits vegetables and legumes.
Eating foods that contain Vitamin c may reduce your risk of the most common type of hemorrhagic stroke according to a study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia April 26 to May 3 2014.
Vitamin c is found in fruits and vegetables such as oranges papaya peppers broccoli and strawberries. Hemorrhagic stroke is less common than ischemic stroke
Participants were tested for the levels of Vitamin c in their blood. Forty-one percent of cases had normal levels of Vitamin c 45 percent showed depleted levels of Vitamin c
and 14 percent were considered deficient of the vitamin. On average the people who had had a stroke depleted levels of Vitamin c
while those who had had not a stroke had normal levels of the vitamin. Our results show that Vitamin c deficiency should be considered a risk factor for this severe type of stroke as were high blood pressure drinking alcohol
and being overweight in our study said study author Stã phane Vannier MD with Pontchaillou University Hospital in Rennes France.
More research is needed to explore specifically how Vitamin c may help to reduce stroke risk. For example the vitamin may regulate blood pressure.
Vannier adds that Vitamin c appears to have other benefits like creating collagen a protein found in bones skin and tissues.
Vitamin c deficiency has also been linked to heart disease. The study was supported by the University of Rennes France.

and fish has more evidence for reducing cardiovascular risk than strategies that focus exclusively on reduced dietary fat.
Early investigations of the relationship between food and heart disease linked high levels of serum cholesterol to increased intake of saturated fat and subsequently an increased rate of coronary heart disease.
This led to the American Heart Association's recommendation to limit fat intake to less than 30%of daily calories saturated fat to 10%and cholesterol to less than 300 mg per day.
Nearly all clinical trials in the 1960s 70s and 80s compared usual diets to those characterized by low total fat low saturated fat low dietary cholesterol
and increased polyunsaturated fats says study co-author James E. Dalen MD MPH Weil Foundation and University of Arizona College of Medicine.

%Scientists at the University of Cambridge found that in fact higher consumption of low-fat fermented dairy products which include all yoghurt varieties
Dairy products are an important source of high quality protein vitamins and minerals. However they are also a source of saturated fat
which dietary guidelines currently advise people not to consume in high quantities instead recommending they replace these with lower fat options Previous studies on links between dairy product consumption (high fat
or low fat) and diabetes had inconclusive findings. Thus the nature of the association between dairy product intake and type 2 diabetes remains unclear prompting the authors to carry out this new investigation using much more detailed assessment of dairy product consumption than was done in past research.
The research was based on the large EPIC-Norfolk study which includes more than 25000 men and women living in Norfolk UK.
While this type of study cannot prove that eating dairy products causes the reduced diabetes risk dairy products do contain beneficial constituents such as Vitamin d calcium and magnesium.
and a special form of Vitamin k (part of the menaquinone family) associated with fermentation. The authors acknowledge the limitations of dietary research which relies on asking people

#Humans can use smell to detect levels of dietary fatnew research from the Monell Center reveals humans can use the sense of smell to detect dietary fat in food.
and discriminate minute differences in the fat content of our food suggests that this ability must have had considerable evolutionary importance.
As the most calorically dense nutrient fat has been desired a energy source across much of human evolution.
As such it would have been advantageous to be able to detect sources of fat in food
Although scientists know that humans use sensory cues to detect fat it still remains unclear
While previous research had determined that humans could use the sense of smell to detect high levels of pure fat in the form of fatty acids it was known not
whether it was possible to detect fat in a more realistic setting such as food. In the current study reported in the open access journal PLOS ONE the researchers asked
and differentiate the amount of fat in a commonly consumed food product milk. To do this they asked healthy subjects to smell milk containing an amount of fat that might be encountered in a typical milk product:
either 0. 125 percent 1. 4 percent or 2. 7 percent fat. The milk samples were presented to blindfolded subjects in three vials.
Two of the vials contained milk with the same percent of fat while the third contained milk with a different fat concentration.
In all three experiments participants could use the sense of smell to discriminate different levels of fat in the milk.

and there is a bit of Vitamin d in there too (Vitamin d is necessary for calcium absorption). What's more those early European farmers especially in the low sunlight regions of the North would have had trouble making sufficient Vitamin d in the skin throughout most of the year

For them milk could have been the new superfood says Sverrisdã ttir. But what about our cousins in sunny Spain?
They have plenty enough sunlight for most of the year to make Vitamin d and yet still many are lactase persistent.

Registered dietitian nutritionists can help consumers understand that a total diet approach is more beneficial than simply reducing dietary fat
