@@willemvanriet7160 IF that manufactured artificial butter turns out to be just as healthy nutritious as ordinary butter, then there's no problem. I think the company is called Savory Butter.

Dr Grant is right up my latest alley. I've been routine basking in sun, shirt off as much as possible.

I think he is missing the mark here a bit. Our huge brains REQUIRE ketones along with glucose from birth to develop and be fueled properly. Yet we spend our lives blocking ketone production eating the crappy recommended diet full of sugar and junk starches. So this begins the first time a baby is given sugar. Then the brain is starved for decades. Your liver makes all the glucose you need. Any you eat is extra and blocks ketone production, also by the liver, while your body deals with the unneeded glucose. If you constantly eat carbs, you constantly block ketone production and starve your brain. So prevention is to be in a well fed ketogenic state. It will also improve your vit B levels. Lots of info out there on how to do that.
No no no, Dr Here did strict keto for long time, developed many metabolic problems. I need some dietary glucose, there’s some genetic differences between Europeans and eskimos - less able to use peroxisomes etc etc, (we have salivary amylase for a reason)
10:49 " in other words it's not just about having a healthy brain it's not just about having a good sort of metabolic Supply if you don't use it you lose it ."
Walking on uneven terrain is the hands down BEST brain exercise you can do! Get your sleep and have a good diet and you won't have to worry about this :)
23:07 "Indian J Dermatol. kind of helped the Clincher on this because he said human babies are born with a waxy waterproof layer the vernix. I have never seen a vernix in any land-based mammal.

I enjoyed the lecture except that I was surprised by this part. The aquatic ape is generally considered psuedo science. It makes claims that are very complicated, explainable by other hypotheses, and is essentially unprovable or testable. High omega 3 diets are easily achieved from a diet consisting of large ruminate mammals. Sea food is not required. Also bipedalism likely started prior to coming down from the trees more than 7 million years ago, not via wading as is claimed. Having vernix at birth is protective against pathogens for a hairless infant. It need not have anything to do with semi aquaticism. It is just as easy to say that sea lions have human like vernix indicating a land based hairless evolutionary past.
Definitely. But Dr Holford says that Vit B complex often starts to become malabsorbed when we age, which means that for some older people, they can't absorb enough B vitamins from meat and eggs, even though there's enough present in the food. It's those people who should be supplementing.
7:58 "In the British medical jour 29,000 people and what it found is that uh those who had a healthy diet were about 7 times less likely to have age- related cognitive decline than those with an average diet and nine times less likely to develop dementia than those with an unfavorable diet and one of the things that was quite interesting in this and this is not because I'm not a fan of exercise I totally am uh but the effect of the diet was was about twice as important as the next biggest risk factor which was exercise whether or not you had apoe4 made absolutely no difference at all the other big trial that's going on that is multifactorial and very respected and very well done is the finger trial and uh they're changing lots of different factors that are risk factors but once again whether or not your apoe4 makes no difference ."
Almost certainly a diet primarily full of vegetable whole foods (this does not mean a diet primarily consisting of grains). i.e Mediterranean, Okinawan, pescetarian, whole food Vegan diet.
You should take omega 3, eat fish. Avoid too many carbs (presumably highly processed); keep low levels of homocysteine (take B vitamins; leafy greens, fish. Keep good vitamin D levels.
A diet made of grains= sugar+ statins. Babies have a high cholesterol, almost like it's a needed thing in the body. It's important in nerve sheathing and the brain. What could possibly be wrong with making 50 billion a year to screw with nerve function.
So do I now go and get a blood test to see if I’m getting enough B vitamins and Omega 3? Would taking supplements be okay even if I feel I’m eating the right foods? Certainly want to avoid Alzheimer’s that Dad had. Great talk. Did the test: 2 green, rest yellow. (68 years)
Surprised to hear him mention folic acid. It is now known that this synthetic non bioavailable supplement has a deleterious effect on those with the MTHFR snp. Up to fifty percent of the world population has this mutation. If supplementing it's safer to do so with either methylfolate or Folinic Acid (not the same as folic acid) which are both biologically available & don't depend on a cell enzyme to convert them in order to affect the methylation cycle.
The fish oils cause stroke, increasing the risk of vascular dementia and heavy metals like mercury are another cumulative problem. There has also been an up tick in ALS in humans and cases of dementia in dolphins (!) linked to blue green algal blooms due to global warming and the cyanobacteria contained therein, so they should find a way to get the homocystein down without seafood. Immediately.
We were never apes DNA is only 70% that of humans. A banana has 50% the same DNA. Quote from Evolutionist Professor Jerome Lejeune, in a lecture given in Paris on March 17, 1985, translated by Peter Wilders. “We have no acceptable theory of evolution at the present time. There is none; and I cannot accept the theory that I teach to my students each year. Let me explain. I teach the synthetic theory known as the neo-Darwinian, for one reason only; not because it’s good, we know it is bad, but because there isn’t any other. Whilst waiting to find something better you are taught something which is known to be inexact, which is a first approximation …” . There is another, which does fit the bit of evidence we do have. Creation.
How can a scientist speak about evolution and being an ape with such certainty? This is really disturbing, especially considering that he is someone who claims that he has a good understanding of the world and who tries to convince me that he is right in what he says. I withdraw my patreon support.

Just eat red meat and eggs get out in the sun you should be right :)
That is what I do. My B vitamins in the bloodwork are excellent.

The question is, what odes BMJ consider a healthy diet, and how did they ask the question?
Doctors don’t know what a healthy diet consists of. Make your personal guess and give that a try. Good luck.
So what is a healthy diet?
Almost certainly a diet primarily full of vegetable whole foods (this does not mean a diet primarily consisting of grains). i.e Mediterranean, Okinawan, pescetarian, whole food Vegan diet.
Great research but I believe this guy needs to talk to Dr Knobbe.
Can someone please post the TL;DR (a summary of key points) for lay people?
You should take omega 3, eat fish. Avoid too many carbs (presumably highly processed); keep low levels of homocysteine (take B vitamins; leafy greens, fish. Keep good vitamin D levels.
high carbs
A diet made of grains= sugar+ statins. Babies have a high cholesterol, almost like it's a needed thing in the body. It's important in nerve sheathing and the brain. What could possibly be wrong with making 50 billion a year to screw with nerve function.

Statin use ‼️
It's very eloquent but I suggest you look at brain biopsies and aluminum poisoning as per Dr Christopher Exley.
I guess chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is low in DHA and high in carbohydrates, not sure about B12.
zero B12
I did the food for the brain test. I'll check in with it when you want me too. I think it sends an email. Cheers.

Problem is that we need DHA. The only abundant source of DHA is seafood.
so the tldr is..... eat eggs? full of omega 3 and vit B
Eggs are certainly better than nothing for DHA, but very little compared to sea food.
and red meat and avoid sugar and carbs...
Seed oils? Processed food? Artificial sweeteners?
carbs
Is there a liposomaly encapsulated version of b12 as there is with vitamin c, for much better absorbtion, ie passing through the blood brain barrier?
red meat 🙂
It’s a good thing China is leading the way on ALS research, given the incoming “silver tsunami” there…! 🌊

So, Alzheimer's should be much higher in vegetarians and vegans - is there any data to support this?
