Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar-Your Brain’s Silent Killers by Davide Perlmutter, Kristin Loberg
I love health books and this one is one of my several go to’s. Dr Perlmutter exposes the facts that carbs are destroying your brain! They are instigated in being the root cause of headaches, depression, dementia, anxiety and more. He points out that the fate of our health is not necessarily in your genes. It is in the food we eat! Carbs as well as statin drugs can trigger inflammation. A diet high in “good fats” is ideal and can even spur the growth of new brain cells at any age!! Dr. Perlmutter even provides a 4 week diet plan to keep your brain healthy while reducing your risk for neurological diseases.

He is all about treating the cause which is safer and cheaper than trying to “fix” it with drugs which do not address the “root cause”.
