Spanish media reported last November that scientists from the University of Malaga and the Biomedical Research Institute of Malaga have reached a very important conclusion: “For each point of adherence that the (Mediterran) dietary pattern is increased, the risk of Alzheimer’s disease decreases by 11%”.
