Brain Health

Everything we put in our mouths affects the health of our brains. What we are learning now is that sweets don’t appear to be good for our brains, while healthy fats are good brain food. The story, however, gets much more complex than that.

Grace Slick was close to my new slogan for baby boomers when she wrote White Rabbit:

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head.

(Did you know that it was a dormouse, rather than “door mouse” and it is in fact a very cute little mouse with a furry tail, but has no relation to doors.)
