Key Takeaways
What this piece covers
This article is about Grain Brain’s revised Spanish edition and how a clear, correct record now helps readers select the exact book.
Why this gap mattered
Older Spanish records were easy to find; the revised Spanish paperback with a thirty-day plan was not. That mixed reviews and reading logs across editions.
The anchor fact
The publisher confirms the revised Spanish paperback with ISBN-13 9786073818681 and health-science positioning. [1]
Who wrote it
Neurologist-author David Perlmutter was born on 31 December 1954. These public details are documented in his official curriculum vitae. [4]
How to read the claims
Bold diet claims attract attention and debate. Large reviews point to whole-diet patterns (Mediterranean, DASH, MIND) as the safer guide. [2][3]
Story & Details
The missing record
Readers searched a major catalog and saw older Spanish entries linked to Grain Brain. The revised Spanish paperback did not appear, so people often logged the wrong version. That blurs which text a review refers to and hinders useful recommendations.
The proof that settled it
A single code fixes confusion: ISBN-13 9786073818681. The publisher’s own page lists this revised Spanish paperback and describes its focus on diet, brain health, and a thirty-day plan. That is institutional confirmation, not a shop blurb. [1]
What changed in practice
Once the edition data were clear and public, the catalog added the correct record and linked it to the master work. Readers can now shelve, rate, and review the exact Spanish revision instead of an older translation. Discovery gets cleaner; so do reading stats.
The science, in short
Independent reviews say overall diet quality relates to better brain outcomes. Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND patterns show promise, though much evidence is observational. Mechanism papers explain how nutrients may affect synapses and signals. These help place strong claims in context. [2][3]
The public figure at the center
David Perlmutter is widely known for linking grains and sugar to brain risk. His official CV lists his birthdate as 31 December 1954, a stable public fact often requested for accuracy in profiles. [4]
A university talk, for balance
For an academic overview on food and mental health from a university channel, this public lecture adds clear context and practical takeaways. It is open, global, and requires no login. [5]
Conclusions
A small fix with real value
Adding the precise record for the revised Spanish edition turns scattered data into a reliable shelf. Readers see which text they have. Reviewers point to the right content. Recommendation systems learn from cleaner signals.
The reader’s takeaway
Use the exact ISBN when logging or buying. Read big claims, then check broad reviews and academic talks. Patterns matter more than single nutrients. [2][3][5]
