Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon and former U.S. secretary of housing and urban development, is known for many accomplishments, but brain supplements aren’t one of them. Snopes readers sent us an unusual claim that said Carson had won a Nobel Prize for his brain supplements that are supposedly good for enhancing memory. One reader asked us, “Did Ben Carson win a Nobel Prize? Has his medical license been suspended in all 50 states?” Another said “Ben Carson had won a Nobel Prize for some “brain-boosting” pill.”But none of these claims are true. Ben Carson has never been the recipient of a Nobel Prize.
