"Orally administered CC improved the cognitive decline induced by a high-fat diet"

Does this mean that:

1. the cognitive decline was improved and therefore the decline hastened

2. something else?

I agree. I'm also confused. The original article uses the same phrasing.

My impression is that it's (2) because the people who ate the cheese seemed to have more cognitive ability.

" In addition, the risk of developing dementia, especially Alzheimer’s dementia, was reduced by a high intake of milk and dairy products (Suzuki et al., 2019)."

This is the original article (paper). Do you mean one of the previous studies referenced? One of them (Suzuki et al[0]) makes it clear:

> Three months of mold-fermented cheese ingestion had beneficial effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels

Does dairy usually lead to better gut microbiome or I'm taking the connection too far?

Ameliorated is the word you're looking for.

> We found that CC and myristamide (MA) reduce the cognitive decline induced by short-term intake of a high-fat diet (HFD).

So, Improved == reduce.

The author of this title needs more Camembert.

To be sold :)

Funny. I came here because of the same reason the first 5 commenters had: Very confusing word usage...

"Improved cognitive decline"

I hate the english language like you wouldnt believe

Hate the users not the language. The report authors need either more or less of that cheese in their diet

Adding this to the "ways to justify my behaviour" file, and sorely hoping improving a cognitive decline means arresting rather than accelerating it.

In mice.

It's a bit runny.

Oh, I like it runny.

Oh dear, the cat's eaten it.

You're deliberately wasting our time.

Yum!
