Saw a book at Border's yesterday about memory - seems that estrogen protects the hippocampus, and that as estrogen levels decine, memory gets worse, which is why one's memory gets worse with age. I made a mental note to tell Penni about it, but here I am telling you. Only problem is, you're male. So what good is it going to do you? I know that men's bodies make some estrogen, just as women's bodies make some testosterone, but I don't know what happens to men's estrogen levels as they age. But anyway, the book recommends phytoestrogens, which are found, among other places, in soy, so eat your tofu, it's good for your memory.
