    Summary
    Nutrition provides a practical and appealing approach to cognitive enhancement, including the modulation of long-term cognitive processes such as neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. An abundance of promising nutritional influences on cognition have been identified, but many long-term effects remain to be confirmed by data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The current article provides a general outline of various factors that hamper the demonstration of causal long-term nutritional effects on cognition by RCTs and advocates the development of methodological solutions to enable substantiation in future RCTs
