Other purported memory potions include such nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS) as Advil and Motrin, which in one study appeared to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease as much as 50% over a 15-year period. Lecithin, vitamin B12 and folic acid also generate buzz in the memory biz, but again there is little or no in-the-lab science to back up the claimed benefits. "There just aren't any good data that we know of," says Buckholtz...
...most traditional pursuit has been reinvigorated by modern technologies. A scrapbook would seem antithetical to the digital age: a clunky, tangible thing in a universe of rapidly deleted e-mail and disappearing web pages.

He ignores the harmful effects of depleting the ozone layer, acid rain, and the estimated 64,000 deaths each year from air pollution, according to a study done by the Natural Resources Defense Council, not to mention the environmental destruction due to strip mining, deforestation and oil extraction...
