CNN (2/6, LaMotte) reports, “Keeping alcohol consumption to one or two drinks a day lessened the odds of developing dementia, according to a study of nearly 4 million South Koreans.” However, the study published online in JAMA Network Open found that “drinking more than two drinks a day increased that risk.” The study’s first author said, “We found that maintaining mild to moderate alcohol consumption as well as reducing alcohol consumption from a heavy to moderate level were associated with a decreased risk of dementia.”
