Diets with higher inflammatory potential were associated with an increased risk of incident dementia, find researchers at Columbia University in New York City and Kapodistrian University of Athens Medical School in Greece. This suggests that people who consume an anti-inflammatory diet that includes more vegetables, fruits, beans, and tea or coffee may be at lower risk of developing dementia later in life.
