Another troubling issue, stated in the introduction, is the contention that the brain cells we are born with are the ones we die with. This claim is not true. The idea that we make no new brain cells is no longer accepted and has not been for at least a decade... plenty of time for it to be included in the 2007 publication of The Brain Trust Program (see overview). Not all of Dr. McCleary's claims are outdated, but that a basic tenet of the book is old dogma is a major issue to me.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."

Your review of The Brain Trust Programme was very informed, however i would like to take contention with your statement that because Dr Mcleary is head of research for a supplement company that his view is not valid.I have been in this area of research for over 20 years and Dr Mcleary has been a highly respected cognitive practioner for all of this time.
