The healthy volunteers ranged in age from 40 to 64, and filled out surveys that assessed their dietary intake between 1985 and 1999. Scientists then followed up through 2020, noting which participants developed dementia that required care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Those in the study who ate the most fiber had a 26 percent lower dementia risk compared to those participants who ate the least. And the link was most pronounced among those who ate more soluble fiber\u2014like oats\u2014which protects against degenerative disease, scientists noted in the study. They found that fiber is believed to boost the levels of good bacteria, which dampens inflammation in the brain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/diet-soda-dementia-risk-news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Drinking This Makes You 3 Times More Likely to Get Dementia, Study Says<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An overwhelming number of Americans eat cold cereal for breakfast\u2014that&#8217;s 283 million, according to data reported by Statista in July 2021.
