Advance praise for "The Mindspan Diet"
Eye-opening . . . fascinating, important . . . [Dr. Preston Estep] examines populations who have both long lives and long mindspans which he calls the mindspan elite using the latest information on metabolism and genetics to understand their dietary secrets. Most surprising is his assertion that after age forty, iron, dairy, and whole grains can be harmful to metabolism and contribute to diseases associated with aging, including dementia. . . . Estep includes plenty of practical info on improving one s mindspan and puts some refined grains back on the table. "Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
Presenting a sensible regimen that people can follow easily, this recommended diet book [has] useful information about aging. "Library Journal"
