I wish they would get to the point quicker and would be more specific. Readers will misunderstand the research.

Here is an initial 2003 study and conclusion, noted in JAMA, which has continued in other studies thereafter:

High intake of unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats may be protective against Alzheimer disease, whereas intake of saturated or trans-unsaturated (hydrogenated) fats may increase risk.

Huh. How does that make any sense, people in general have moved to so called healthier fats and Alzheimer's is on the rise.
