Adapted from the original research and an article by Robby Berman in Medical News Today, August 2, 2023 Consuming half a tablespoon of olive oil per day could substantially lower your risk of dying from dementia, a new study shows. According to a presentation on July 24 at the NUTRITION 2023 conference in Boston, the study found that people who consumed half a tablespoon or more of olive oil daily had a 25% reduced risk of dying from dementia compared to people who did not consume olive oil. What’s more, higher olive oil intake was linked to greater brain benefits. “We found a clear linear dose-response association between higher daily olive oil intake and lower risk of fatal dementia,” said
