Prevention does not mean drugs, it means tackling the root causes of cognitive decline and brain shrinkage, which is what Food for the Brain does.
Food for the Brain sent them the indisputable evidence and they ignored it.” Here’s how the Lancet Commission halved the true impact of dementia prevention – watch this film.
