The MIND Diet emphasizes foods that are beneficial for brain health, including berries, whole grains, peanuts/tree nuts, and vegetables. Glioma is a type of brain tumor. 128 newly diagnosed glioma cases were compared to 256 controls.
Key Findings
Key Findings: According to the authors, "Individuals with the greatest adherence to the MIND diet were less likely to have glioma compared with those with the lowest adherence; such that those in the top tertile were 47% less likely to have glioma than those in the bottom tertile"
