Greetings,

For those who prefer to see this new books list not being split into many pieces by publication month, but rather be united into one place together, here it is:

Greetings,

Just came across this new interesting book written by a medical doctor for lay public with somewhat unusual practical advices on how to delay deterioration of our brains with age:

The Brain Trust Program: A Scientifically Based Three-Part Plan to Improve Memory, Elevate Mood, Enhance Attention, Alleviate Migraine and Menopausal Symptoms, and Boost Mental Energy
by Larry McCleary, M.D., Perigee Trade; 1 edition (September 4, 2007)
http://tinyurl.com/2t6jcv

See for example, page 78:

"Make the versatile egg a regular part of your diet -- all of it, including the yolk! And no, that is not a misprint. But before you gasp and say, "Eggs? Are you nuts? They're full of cholesterol; I can't eat eggs!" hear me out. Granted, in the last 15 years or so, the poor egg has been demonized (unfairly) as a health risk because of its cholesterol content; but, fortunately, science marches on and, as Bob Dylan once reminded us, the times, they are 'changin.' " [Then a whole page of detailed explanation & justification follows].

Any experts here to comment on this statement, on this book, and its author?

Thanks!
