Carbs linked to cognitive impairment in the elderly

Interesting. I know carbs aren’t good for me, but I found this article on Huffington Post:

Researchers tracking the eating habits of 1,230 older people found that those reporting the highest carbohydrate intake at the beginning of the study were 1.9 times likelier to develop mild cognitive impairment than those with the lowest intake. Participants with the highest sugar intake were 1.5 times likelier to experience mild cognitive impairment than those with the lowest levels.
