#533 Show Summary (What Would Einstein Eat? Show):

As with most dietary research, there are strongly held opinions about the best diet for your brain, but little scientific evidence.  We are joined by Jean Jones, Manager of Clinical Nutrition Services at St. Claire Regional Medical Center, Registered Dietitian Andrea Corkran, and UK Dietetic Intern Mallory Foster to look at the best brain foods, with information on kale and Oreos as well.

Tip:  The FDA has changed the Nutrition labels last month.  Calories are easier to read, and they have added potassium and vitamin D levels.
