nolasia 's review for:
The XX Brain
by Lisa Mosconi
I'm conflicted in reviewing this one. I think it has a lot of good information about Alzheimer's which I did not know - for example your biggest risk factor is being a woman, not genetics.
However, I think it glossed over the benefits of HRT and didn't discuss the poorly run study enough. She even suggests trying other things before HRT when all the evidence suggests that if done correctly, it vastly reduces your risk factors for several major health issues.
Also, like another reviewer mentioned, the end notes method makes it harder to find what evidence she's using... and honey and syrup are still just sugar.
So I think it's good for the Alzheimer's content but take the rest with a grain of salt.
