The headline of the Daily Express on Thursday 26th of January says it all: “ Eat Mushrooms To FIght Dementia”. The subtitle read - “superfood could halt cruel disease”.
As ever Stalker is skeptical of all health claims made for any food. It is great however to see mushrooms knock Brexit and Trump off the headlines. But is it warranted? With the latest claims for Lions Mane and Cordyceps helping to fight against dementia, even if the mushrooms indicated had some beneficial effects against neurodegenerative disease like dementia, one can be sure that they are not a cure-all.
Extensive trials are needed to establish the evidence that the mushrooms really do have potential to help.
Mind you, in the face of such a personality-destroying disease, people will most certainly try anything to stave it off.
