Russian Scientists Develop Anti-Aging Cheese That May Help Prevent Dementia and Diabetes

Researchers at the Ural Federal University have created a new type of functional cheese enriched with bioactive compounds that may help slow cellular aging, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of several chronic diseases, including dementia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, the Izvestia newspaper reports. The research team spent more than four years developing semi-hard cheddar-style cheeses and white mold cheeses enhanced with powerful antioxidant substances. During that time, scientists designed technologies capable of stabilizing and improving the bioavailability of the active compounds while preserving the flavor and texture of the final product. The university has already patented both the production methods and the formulas used in the new cheeses.
