Lisa Mosconi has a web and media presence and a book Brain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power. She claims, “There is increasing evidence that implementing the lifestyle changes described in this book has the potential to prevent Alzheimer’s from developing and also to help slow down or even halt progression of the disease.”
…
there’s strong evidence that several factors associated with leading a healthy lifestyle may play a role in reducing your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. However, more research is needed before any of these factors can be considered a proven strategy to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Mosconi is not waiting for more research.
…
She concludes:
…simply drinking more water and eating water-rich foods could be one of the healthiest changes you make to bring about better health as well as greater cognitive power in your life.
I suppose it “could” be, but I seriously doubt it.
…
Much of what she says is standard health advice. Avoid trans fats. Eat fresh vegetables and fruit.
…
With her training and experience, she ought to understand and practice rigorous science. She makes all the right noises about scientific literacy and recognizing pseudoscience, but she seems unable to look in the mirror and see her own errors.
