Could you possibly give us the exact reference.  I'm not aware of any
controlled studies that demonstrated "actual measurable brain shrinkage." 
There were two reports (one from Johns Hopkins and one from LIJ)
demonstrating that there might be some changes in the caudate nucleus, but
there were insufficient controls to warrant any firm conclusions.  If there
are other studies, I'd like to look at them.
