Recently, I found another interesting article by nutritionist on a weight loss website. This article had been quoted by others as proof that a low-carb diet is dangerous. Here's a sentence:
"In fact, the human brain depends exclusively on carbohydrates for its energy."
Are carbs the only brain food????? I wanted to jump into the discussion with a "Hey, wait a minute!", but then remembered that I had better behave myself, at least until I have updated my food tracker to Dr. Oz' new weight loss site.
Here's what Dr. Mary Dan Eades, noted physician and diet expert, has to say about brain food:

Her post contains a dead link, so I found another that speaks of the diabetes-Alzheimer's connection.
