Diet Trials and the MIND Result

Captions available

The idea

In a three-year randomized trial, older adults on the MIND diet improved in cognition no more than a control group on a similar calorie-reduced diet.

In practice

Both groups' cognitive scores rising slightly, with brain scans similar in the two groups.

Where people slip

Observational links between diet and dementia do not guarantee that changing diet prevents decline; trials test the causal claim.
