From the linked article:

"... something as simple as taking fish oils had reduced dementia risk by 9%. This is equivalent to the risk reduction found from quitting smoking. However, the effect is not the same without B vitamins."

So yeah. My summary simply illuminates the pathway/reason why as well as why there are so many confusing comorbidities.

I think this doesn‘t mean diet can prevent it altogether let alone revert it
