    My brother in law suddenly developed short term memory loss. Alzheimers has been ruled out. His last doctor says it is because of his drinking. Now he is not an alcoholic. He usually has two to three drinks a day. Somedays less. His family is after him to quit drinking. He is becoming depressed because of this nagging and because of the memory loss.

Eat To Save Your Life: Another Half-True Diet Book

I am hesitant to review diet books because they are so often a tangled mess of fact and fiction. Teasing out their truth from falsehood is about as exhausting as delousing a long-haired elementary school student. However after being approached by the authors’ PR agency with the promise of a…
