The Aging Brain by Thad A. Polk
5.0
Really great! So much fascinating information and so well presented — interesting stuff, good delivery.
I concur with reviewer Laura, who noted that "there were a few face-palm moments, like when he referenced Ancel Key's seven countries study (which has been fully debunked), and when he recommended not eating too much fat to prevent a stroke (later showing that a high fat "Mediterranean" diet prevented stroke versus a low fat diet)."
Nevertheless, such moments were few and far between. I learned a lot and enjoyed every chapter/lecture.
