I do take a magnesium supplement every day without fail, as it was prescribed by my primary care doc. She’s into natural, and I figure it sure can’t hurt. However, after taking it for about 2 years now, I don’t feel any smarter. This worries me, but I’ll keep taking it. Maybe it will accumulate or something and I’ll end up a very brainy old lady one day! As to the other foods that have magnesium in them, I like and eat all of them except okra (shoot me first, please?), oysters, and scallops (I’m allergic to shellfish, so this isn’t a hard choice for me). It’s too bad that cupcakes aren’t packed with magnesium, isn’t it. ;o)

Interesting! I am forgetful Jones like your mom. Maybe just maybe it’s a nutrient deficiency.

Serena, I’ve never heard of Boomi Bars. I’ll have to do some googling on those. Crunchy honey pumpkin sounds good!

This is very interesting to learn – thank you. I do not take supplements myself but recently bought “Boomi Bars” in Pumpkin flavor and now feel better on *nom nom nom*-ing on the honey-covered treats

That food list reads like my daily food log! So I should have an IQ of like 200 now right?? I blame my kids for the fact that I frequently walk into a room and have no idea why.
