Praise for Nutrition and Dementia Prevention: Limitations of Current Research

This is an excellent examination of the research on the role of nutrition in dementia prevention. I recently wrote a textbook chapter, requiring me to review the studies over the past 20 years, and agree with the conclusions of the working group who put forth this article. I think any nutrition professional could benefit from the required reading and the CPE program.
