Conflicting information is a challenge. That is one of the things that makes caregiving so difficult. You’re not only making decisions that impact someone you love, the information you have frequently changes.
Today, for example, I just read an article entitled, “Healthy diet could slow or reverse early effects of Alzheimer’s Disease” from Temple University. Wow! That’s great news, or so I thought when I read the article’s title. The article even specifically mentions people with MCI.
The article states that a diet rich in methionine could increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. What items contain methionine? Eggs, red meat, fish, beans, lentils, garlic, onions, yogurt and seeds.
Well, I thought fish was supposed to be “brain food”, but since none of us like it, we don’t eat it, so I guess we’re in the clear. Reading this makes me feel like my family needs a dietician so we know what to eat!
I guess the good news is that chocolate wasn’t on that list! And with that, I’m off to make a batch of double chocolate chip cookies! 
You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Let's disrupt together to make the world better for family caregivers.

Hi G-J–I keep up on the research (and read this one, too) and sometimes think, Does anyone really know what they’re studying? I don’t know. I think we know what works best in our bodies. I must say, though, I would have given anything for a chocolate chip cookie today! That sounds delicious and something that’s good for the heart.
