Seven things that kill brain cells

by John on July 28, 2008

My previous post listed seven things that cause new brain cells to grow, taken from a talk by Dean Ornish. Here’s the corresponding list from the same talk of things that decrease brain cells.

  1. Saturated fat
  2. Sugar
  3. Nicotine
  4. Opiates
  5. Cocaine
  6. Alcohol  in excess
  7. Chronic stress

I’m not totally convinced that opiates kill brain cells. Sure, if you abuse opiates for a long term period but, I can’t see it doing any damage if taken the way your suppose to.
