I wonder though - how do I know this is true? Part of what I like about the magazine is that since none of you are real food experts, there's a real sense of discovery with each piece. But because this is presented as factual information, rather than as a creative nonfiction essay where you lead us through the process of discovering brain foods, I want to know the source. You do say that some are from this other website...but how credible is The Daily Mind? Or Wikipedia? I'm not saying you're wrong - I just wonder about authority. I realize that your site is intentionally light, but you are presenting information as true. Maybe you've done enough by pointing us somewhere else on the internet - readers can do their own research if that's not enough for them. Yeah, I guess I'm ok with it. [Wow Ben, great comment that was so helpful.] Like everyone else, I like the clean, clear way this information is presented. I wonder though – how do I know this is true?

That would have been cool too, but I appreciate all the healthier items that you mention here. As with the rest of the ezine, the photos are fantastic and an absolute necessity. I like how you introduce certain foods/drinks with a personal anecdote. That's something I definitely won't find in fitness/diet magazines. Echoing others' sentiment, thank you for the great info! Now, I have to go eat some of this stuff. :) I was expecting this to be an article on all the not-so-good-for-you stuff out there that will keep you charged, like Red Bull.

I trust you but that was a surprise. So were strawberries, and i thought spinach was Popeye food -- good for the forearms not necessarily the front lobe. SG Are you sure about popcorn?

I also never knew popcorn would help with brain cell communication. Just another reason to love popcorn! Great article, I've learned a lot from it.

It's interesting and informative... I can definitely see myself referring back to this piece again and again when I'm debating what to take with me to school or what's the best thing to have in order to boost my concentration. And it's so true what you said about coffee being ineffective when overly used... I learned the hard way in high school. Natalie This is an excellent article, Alyssa!
