3. The nun study..

I also initially read that envisioning the eating of baby brains to stave off Alzheimer, btw

I remember radio host Dr. Dean Edel frequently citing a study that was done on nuns who, upon entering the convent at age 16 ot 17, had to write an essay about themselves and their vocation. By analysing these essays 100 years or so later, the scientists were able to predict with an extremely high degree of accuracy (90% I think) which nuns were going to develop Alzheimer's later in life. The better they were able to express themselves from a literary perspective, the less likely they were to develop Alzheimer's.
