Does drinking alcohol affect your dementia risk? (NPR)
« on: April 17, 2023, 09:41:40 pm »
Whether alcohol consumption is harmful to people with MS is often debated. I once knew a neurologist who routinely recommended drinking beer to his MS patients. There are many opinions. This article's author has found some evidence that reducing alcohol consumption helps to lower the risk of dementia.


From NPR (February 23, 2023)--"Does drinking alcohol affect your dementia risk?"
