Is Grain Destroying Your Brain?

In his book "Grain Brain", renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD explores the topic of whether carbohydrates are destroying your brain. Regardless of whether you are eating unhealthy carbs such as cookies or candy, or "healthy" ones such as whole grain bread and cereals, the consumption of grain has been linked to dementia, ADD / ADHD, anxiety, mood swings, chronic headaches, depression, and more. Dr. Perlmutter explains what happens to the brain when it encounters common ingredients found in your daily bread, why your brain actually thrives on fat and cholesterol, and how you can initiate the growth of new brain cells regardless of age. The good news is that the book also offers a remedy, providing an in-depth look at how we can take control of our “smart genes” through dietary choices and lifestyle changes and demonstrating how we heal our most feared maladies ... all without drugs!
