Eating too much steak and bacon may raise the risk of dementia later in life, a controversial, government-funded study suggests.
Harvard researchers looked at 133,000 adults for four decades and evaluated how much processed and unprocessed red meat they ate on an average per day.
They found that eating one serving of processed red meat – roughly two slices of bacon or a single sausage – was linked to a 13 percent increased risk of dementia.
