A Mediterranean diet of nuts, seafood, whole grains and vegetables could lower the risk of dementia by almost a quarter, according to promising early research that could pave the way for new preventive treatments.

The data suggests eating lots of plant-based foods may have a “protective effect” against dementia, regardless of a person’s genetic risk, which the researchers said could form the basis for future public health strategies if further research confirms their findings.

Joint lead author of the study Dr Janice Ranson, a senior research fellow at the University of Exeter, said: “The findings from this large population-based study underscore the long-term brain health benefits of consuming a Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

“The protective effect of this diet against dementia was evident regardless of a person’s genetic risk, and so this is likely to be a beneficial lifestyle choice for people looking to make healthy dietary choices and reduce their risk of dementia.”

The Crooked House: Britain's 'wonkiest pub' to be sold

A pub thought to be Britain's wonkiest has been put up for sale by its owners.

The Crooked House on Himley Road, near Dudley is one of 61 freehold pubs being sold by Marston's PLC.

It comes as part of a nationwide review by the Wolverhampton-based company, which owns about 1,500 pubs across the UK.

The 18th Century Crooked House has been a popular attraction in the region, with visitors flocking to see the distinctive leaning building.

It was first built in 1765 as a farmhouse, but due to mining in the area during the early 19th Century, one side of the building began to gradually sink.

This week, Marston's announced it had instructed a business property adviser to sell the Crooked House along with seven other of its freehold pubs across the West Midlands.

Nik Antona, chairman of the Campaign for Real Ale, told BBC Radio WM he hoped they do not disappear completely.

"What we're concerned about, is for the properties to remain as pubs," he said.

"The tenants that are in them now have the opportunity to buy them and continue to run them as pubs."

Noel Moffitt, senior director of corporate pubs and restaurants at Christie & Co, which is managing the sale said: "The pub sector has been very resilient over the last few years and has adapted well to the challenges and despite interest in the sector there is a lack of properties on the market."

Whether he was lead or alone, what difference does it make? I thought the point was that earlier in the day he was egging the protestors on, and then later in the day he had to relocate with haste due to the crowd posing a security threat to him.

The rest is spin and bias, but the core fact still rings through.
