Thiamine contained in commercial cereals has been found to be associated with cognitive decline, which can be a precursor to dementia. [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]Cereals, which are popular as a simple breakfast, are also evaluated as being good for your health. However, research has shown that cereals that are considered healthy may actually increase the risk of dementia.

A study published in General Psychiatry found that thiamine in commercial cereals was linked to cognitive decline, which can be a precursor to dementia.

Thiamine, vitamin B1, is also found naturally in whole grains, legumes, liver, and salmon, and not consuming enough of it can cause health problems. 0.17 kg of salmon contains approximately 0.6 to 0.7 mg of thiamine, 0.17 kg of pork ribs contains 1.1 mg, and a 30 g bowl of cereal contains approximately 1.2 mg.

The researchers analyzed data from 3,100 people from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) from 1989 to 2011. With an average age of 63, they reported their diet and took cognitive tests four times between 1997 and 2006. The test included word recall and number pattern questions.

The study found a J-shaped curve association between thiamine intake and decreased cognitive test scores. The average thiamine intake of study subjects was 0.93 mg per day. Looking at the J-shaped curve, the ideal amount is 0.68 mg per day, but the risk is minimized in the range of 0.6 to 1.00 mg per day. For every 1.0 mg per day exceeded from the optimal amount, the overall cognitive score decreased by 4.24 points. This association was stronger in obese people and people with high blood pressure.
