Food for thought... errr.... gerbils

I've mentioned the "Gerbil Food" protocol... Here is the link to the
article and the associated journal article:

"Get Smart About What You Eat And You Might Actually Improve Your
Intelligence"

"ScienceDaily (July 3, 2008) — New research findings published online
in The FASEB Journal provide more evidence that if we get smart about
what we eat, our intelligence can improve. According to MIT
scientists, dietary nutrients found in a wide range of foods from
infant formula to eggs increase brain synapses and improve cognitive
abilities."

"In the study, gerbils were given various combinations of three
compounds needed for healthy brain membranes: choline, found in eggs;
uridine monophosphate (UMP) found in beets; and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA), found in fish oils. Other gerbils were given none of these to
serve as a baseline. Then they were checked for cognitive changes four
weeks later."
