I think it is individual to each person and perhaps genetics play a part. I was in my very early 50s having osteoarthritis pain, in full menopause with rapid weight gain (always active/fit & never overweight), GERD, bloating, brain fog. I went whole food clean vegan with B12 supp for 3yrs, made all from scratch incl nut milks, soaking grains etc. 18 months felt great, all things subsided...But then everything turned 180°and had bad digestive issues, gas, abnormal stools (whole undigested foods in..sorry TMI) and had gained more weight. Felt bad and like I was missing something nutritionally. But i was convinced vegan was the go, persevered for another 18 months. But i could no longer continue. It damaged me more, all my symptoms came back worse than what I started with and I had huge gut probs. I did have to play around with other clean eating styles to heal my gut and brain. I have always stayed off processed and fried food. I am now mainly whole food, low carb (75-90g) high protein, mod EVOO/ghee/GF butter only as 59yo now. With the rare bakery treat at birthdays. But off sugar and alcohol, never ever did take out or fast foods. After veganism my health checks showed high oxalate levels, kidney issues, NAFLD, high glucose (not diabetes), high triglyce's/ cholesterol and a major unbalanced gut from the quantity of fiber I consumed. Sensitivity to the main nuts as a vegan....So much damage I've had to repair and heal. So...I think it is very individual. And i eat only GF meat, pastures eggs, a little dairy, a variety of fermented foods and a select few vege now as they ruined me as a vegan. I hope you appreciate each person's needs and health reasons for changing from fully plant based, as it doesn't always suit everyone.

@Kotello 11 ай бұрын

Putting aside your attitude, this makes me think that we as individuals are so different. I, for example switched to vegetarian diet years ago and I lasted half a year. Brain fog, lag, and generally feeling unwell made me switch back to meat. Recently I went full carnivore, for half a year as well, and I must say I never felt better, full of energy, clearance and motivation. I need to get back to that😊 good luck on your journey and let other enjoy theirs !

If there's anything I've learned from my undergrad in Psychology it's that as a science, it's even more riddled by confounders than nutrition is. Nutrition is no doubt important but what strikes me is that people are always looking for something so easily controllable to avoid a situation that is either unavoidable or when a more common-sense strategy is just more difficult. We know that one of the biggest factors in avoiding the worst symptoms of dementia or alzheimer's is really more about getting a variety of stimulation through learning as well as strong social connections. The brain is designed to make sense of a chaotic world, so you can eat all the fruits, veggies and flax seeds you want but if you cloister yourself in your bedroom and hardly interact with people your whole life, you're probably setting yourself up for something worse down the road.

Nice video. The problem with using observational studies is that diet is highly confounded with other factors. I note that the comparison of MRI scans at 13:00 is simply cherry picked (you are not going to see a huge difference at age 50 in the general population between different diets because the rate of significant cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease is low at that age). Indeed, the finding of notable hippocampal and cerebral atrophy is suspicious for Alzheimer's disease which is rare at age 50. People who go on to develop Alzheimer's disease at age 75 would typically have a normal MRI at age 50 (accumulation of amyloid occurs ~20 years prior to symptom onset but does not result in cell death and cerebral atrophy until later). When you look at studies of similar populations as in the 7th day Adventist studies, the differences are small between vegans, ovolactovegetarians, and pescatarians. This supports the idea that processed food consumption is a more important factor than specific diet type. The risk factors for dementia are similar to the risk factors for heart disease (diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, etc, so a diet which prevents common risk factors is likely to be beneficial. I actually have a video on prevention of dementia: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMWCaJZhuMqqmX0.html

Mic the vegan is able to do it all in a week, but he doesn’t use all the clips I use. They take forever to find.

About 20 years ago, I remember reading that there was a study that childhood vegetarianism was clostly associated with genius. It made sense to me because most children don't register that the animals they pet at the zoo are also in their food. The kids who make those connection younger are generally brighter and more emotionally intelligent.

Love your channel. I have an Ayurvedic background, which supports a primarily plant based diet with a lot more complexity than the Mediterranean diet. There’s little science to back it up as specifically an Ayurvedic diet, but aspects of western medicine/nutrition are now supporting some of the same precepts. Their biggest point is not eating old food. Never eat leftover rice, fresh local food, freshly made. All 3 of which, most Americans can no longer manage with our lifestyle and cultural demands

Very interesting episode. I've thought about this question it's always been like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Meaning are smarter people more apt to go plant based or does going plant based make you smarter. Going plant based has many effects that could lead to better brain function. Maybe some of the extra micronutrients could play a part or thinner blood and better circulation. People defending meat consumption and attack vegans typically seem a bit less intelligent in my personal view. In a recent debate, someone even restored to tell me, "You're a man, eat meat!". This person follows a carnivore diet. I think that paints a pretty accurate picture of the mindset of the carnivore diet group. They often compare themselves to lions as well. Like Jordan Peterson and his daughter with the lion diet. So, they have this image of strength and masculinity associated with eating animals. Not only is that not scientific, but it's very silly. Especially given the way modern man or woman gets this meat off the shelf in the grocery store. Luckily, I'm very confident and wasn't swayed by such a weak attack on my manhood lol.

@ivermec-tin666 Жыл бұрын

Jason, I have never heard Jordan Peterson refer to his diet as the "lion diet". That is a marketing term coined by his daughter in regard to her dietary practice. There is something about her manipulation of sex and gender tropes that makes me wary of her. I am not able to pinpoint it exactly, but it comes off as contrived and manipulative. I would be more comfortable if she would turn the temperature down on her physical presentation and her ham handed use of such language, signs, and symbols. If carnivory promotes mental calmness and clarity, then the best means of demonstrating such a correlation would be to embody calmness and clarity. It seems to me that the avoidance of cognitive decline in old age is a very different subject than that of IQ. The former is a topic that interests me. The latter does not. Then again, dietary tribalism is a tedious game of little interest to those who are not somehow invested in it.

@jasonmoran9099 Жыл бұрын

@ivermec-tin5731 Yes, I think the daughter came up with the name. Guess there are some reasons why she is not completely honest about her health conditions and justification for her diet, but I haven't bothered looking into them. Financial gain can make it challenging to figure out who is genuine. It's not a disqualifier by default, but it can make people say things they don't believe in themselves.

I think something worth pointing out about comparing vegetarianism to meat eating along with the point that socioeconomically speaking, vegetarians in the study had a higher rate of being socioeconomically more affluent is that until fairly recently, a vegetarian diet was almost necessarily whole, real food. In my few years since I stopped eating meat and being 99% vegan, I noticed that unless I wanted to live off of crisps, fries, chocolate and other blatantly candy junk foods, I would struggle to get enough energy to function while avoiding real whole foods. In my time as a meat eater (although consuming much less than average), the ability to eat junk food that isnt considered quite the same "level" of junk as candy and crisps, like breaded chicken nuggets and so on. I am quite interested to see where we go from here as the last three years I have noticed a rising amount of kind of junk-like vegetarian food, vegetarian nuggets and so on. I think they are probably better than the meat equivalent because I think vegetarian food is still held to a higher standard as far as being a health food is concerned, but I would be interested to see if a junk food diet with or without meat are comparable in about thirty years. Great video as always Chris! ^_^

Thank you for doing this. I love it when your wife shows up. :-) I am concerned about the EPA/DHA recommendations of 2000 without any reasoning or testing. Having too much of these aren’t with any upper measure or warning. Does the author mention the why she gives that particular value? Otherwise, it feels like an appeal to authority (the author, not you.). At least OmegaQuant has a metric, a range, and a calculator on how much Omega-3 to take based on your current Omega 3 levels. If I understand it correctly, too high of these values can cause blood thinning. But then again, I’m not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. (Since you’re dirt old, you’d get that reference.). I wish you’d do another oil video featuring Omega3s in more detail. Interesting note that there are a lot of sites out there that new vegetarians/vegans who scream, “you might not getting enough zinc or iron!” People are being scared into poisoning their brain, in addition to the SAD dieters. If only we were being scared into getting checked for levels. On another note, I’d love to see what you eat in a week!! It’s much happier than a debunking video.
