National Stroke Association FoodSmarts app

Fairly useless. No checkboxes for selecting for stroke recovery; for stroke prevention; for dementia prevention; for cognitive improvement; for cholesterol reduction; for plaque removal; for inflammation reduction. I imagine this is just going to be generic crap like the MIND or Mediterranean diet. No efficacy ratings. About what I expect from the NSA. I found it impossible to figure out.
