Keeping your cognitive mojo may depend on rejecting supplements’ false promises, and much more.
What is new?
Alzheimer’s dementia is a horror scenario for most of us. But it needn’t be. With the discovery of vascular causes comes the reassurance that you can escape it, much the same as for cardiovascular disease. However, supplements are not one of the escape routes.
Why it matters
The market for brain health supplements will double from 8 to 15 billion dollars over the next 10 years. Trained on homeopathic doses of data, the manufacturers’ health claims go up in smoke when you poke at them. Their real danger, though, is in distracting you from the far more effective and proven strategies for conserving your cognitive mojo throughout life
