Most people think there is little or nothing they can do to avoid Alzheimer's. But prominent researchers now say that our best and perhaps only hope of defeating Alzheimer's is to prevent it.

And she discovered one hundred surprisingly simple, scientifically tested ways to radically cut the odds of developing Alzheimer's, memory loss, and other forms of dementia. Book jacket.
