Do you like your food cooked within an inch of its life? You do! Then you need to keep reading about Acrylamide Foods to Avoid. Because... I’m not just referring to steak, either.

I was very surprised to read this study by Cochran which stated that memory supplements have no effect in prevention of dementia or cognitive ability. I found this odd since I myself take them daily and I notice a distinct difference if I don't start my day with a large dose of B12 versus the days I don't.
