Dr Boz, Wonderful video. My husband has ftd dementia and the precursor of high uric acid and type 2 diabetes, This was a fantastic Interview,Thank You. I have changed my hubby to a ketogenic diet a few months ago. It has helped him a small amount. Keep up the great work. Much love from Naperville Illinois.
Thank you Dr. Bosworth! I learn so much from you. You have this amazing way presenting information in a simple way that makes it easy to understand. You inspire me, and I believe all your followers too, to remain motivated to eat health.
I’m on holiday visiting my daughter in Mexico (I’m British) and I’ve really struggled to stick to my carnivore lifestyle whilst shopping and going out socially. But all the videos helped me stay on track. In 2 weeks I’ve only had beef, eggs,butter and water and a little milk at bedtime and when we’ve been out I’ve learnt to stick to mineral water and not eat if I couldn’t find anything on a menu. It’s been hard but my body’s looking and feeling really great. I have struggled with the altitude here and the long flight wasn’t easy but I KNOW if I’d relaxed my routine I would have been in more pain and gone back weeks. It’s not easy when we’re with family and on vacation - if you’re struggling watch more videos and eat large carnivore meal mid or late morning until you’re stuffed before you head out for the day and it will be easy to refuse things because you won’t be so hungry if hungry at all. Good luck everyone. I’m so glad when I get back home to the U.K. I don’t have to repair any damage I did in Mexico.
Dr. Boz - That was such a great informative video. You always dispense real information that can and will save a lot of heartache in the future by paying attention today. Thank you!
I am 59 and T2 (using metformin). I have been, for the most part, keto for many years, but could not lose weight no matter how strict my diet was. Earlier this year I started on GLP-1 and have had some great success. And then about 3 months back, I got my first gout flare (bizarre). The discussion you are having with Dr. Johnson makes me think all my issues are somehow connected. Recently I did have new blood work done and got some good news. My A1C had fallen to around 4.2, overall cholesterol came in at around 91. I have gone from 230+ lbs. to around 165 lbs. (that was the GLP-1 and super clean keto eating). Recently did an InBody scan and my bodyfat is now only 19%. I still use the GLP-1 and metformin, but my morning blood glucose now shows in the high 80s to low 90s. The last 10+ years have been frustrating, but I do see improvements in my overall health…Finally!!!
The more education you do, the more likely it is that you have a higher income. Protein and good fat is far more expensive than breads, pasta, rice, cakes, cookies, puddings, and sweets. Just financial fact.
Dr. Boz, you are gorgeous in red! I have been type 1 diabetic 56 years and am having insulin resistance now. I also have a bad memory and think it could be the start of dimentia. I am only 5-10 pounds overweight.
In a recent video that I saw (IIRC, it was Dr. Ben Bikman's video on uric acid) there was speculation that ketones may in some way that's not understood yet counteract the effects of uric acid. No proof yet or real research, just a theory, but that may be why some people on a ketogenic diet may have high levels of uric acid and yet not have the bad effects such as gout.
Recently I got ill and could not eat. I am a person that drops weight too easily and find it hard to maintain my body weight. I eat mostly keto under normal circumstances. To make a long story short, I started drinking coke just to get some calories. That did not make much difference though. After a few days, I bought some off the shelf soup and added this to my diet. Still nothing solid. Imagine my shock when I started gaining weight. According to the calories I should have lost weight, but the opposite happened. Apparently the combination of fructose and some processed food is the ticket, at least in my case. Lesson learned
Ok the cocoa story... these sound like my kinda ppl. 😂 I recently watched a video of yours Dr Bos saying you really wanted to interview Dr Johnson. I am glad it worked out. I didn't want this one to end. 😊
Fantastic interview Dr Boz. So much information to process. It's crazy to hear the benefits of Allulose in this podcast but it's not available in Australia even when it's benefits are so obvious.
My aunt has alzheimer's for about 5+ years now. Thin all her life. Low fat, high carbs, works out all her life. High cholesterol and high blood pressure and is NOT t1d or t2d, yet alzheimer's. I watch her 3x a week. She eats sad diet now high carb high sugar is on blood pressure and cholesterol meds. When i get there, she is out of it. Just sitting there and can barely converse she is up but not moving and participating in life. When i feed her carnivore on Tues, by Wednesday she is up and dressed and has conversation and participates in life. By Thursday even though she will speak on same subject 15 times in 5 minutes she is starting to say things like "You've told me this before" . Her nurse has seen a difference in my aunt and making notes in her file. I do not see her bloodwork. But her family has had new blood work done. No new meds. Not sure if testing for uric acid. Can she be insulin resistant? Not sure if her regular doctor tests for IR. TIA
I am sorry to hear about this. This get your aunt off statins, one of their side effects is dementia which you described. Statins cross the blood-brain barrier and stop the brain from making cholesterol. That is dangerous because your brain needs to produce cholesterol to remain healthy and for new neurons to be developed. It is great that you are starting her on a ketogenic diet that will lower her blood sugar and insulin resistance, which underpins dementia. Lastly, please note that large buoyant LDL cholesterol is not a health risk. Oxidated LDL cholesterol which becomes small dense LDL cholesterol is what is dangerous. Avoiding seed oils is another key factor.
My belief is that she can be insulin resistant. It is possible. I don't know how her doctor reached the conclusion that she doesn't have diabetes but there's a possibility where, just by looking at her glucose levels, she could be considered not diabetic but her insulin could be sky high, therefore insulin resistant. In this case her brain could be the first and the most affected by the insulin resistance and one of the first signs of diabetes. Maybe, supplementing with BHB, MCT 6, 8 oil fractioned (not 10) and Omega 3 in addition to the ketogenic diet could have good results. And of course if she will have good results meaning low triglycerides and high HDL maybe she should consider reducing stains progressively. They're really horrible for the brain. Of course, all the ideas mentioned in my comment and the others must be discussed with her doctors and care takers. Good luck!
That was some mess. Basically don't eat fast carbs, especially fructose. Uric acid should be low because there was this correlation (but not causation) with dementia. Not clear the meaning of high uric acid on a keto diet. The "fat switch" was never named.
I was just curious if anyone has any feedback for me. Please note I am working with my GP. I’ve been doing keto for 4 months and have loved it. Lost 60lbs, back to working out and also work in intermittent fasting. To be vulnerable, not always eating enough calories and worry about some nutritional deficiency. Last CBC - some numbers went in the good direction, but my platelets and wbc came in low. I think it’s thrombocytopenia and also have giant platelets. Of course cancer is my worst fear but curious if it’s something on keto I need to tweak or if this could be even related. Love any thoughts. God bless all. ❤
My husband has Alzheimer's, gout, diabetes,high blood pressure and glaucoma. He had a brain scan and the Dr said he has brain shrinkage of a much older man. He did go through the stage of losing weight. I wonder what stage he is in. He won't have anything to do with changing his diet and doesn't believe he has to change. I wish my example of healthy eating and being in ketosis would rub off, but he has a very stubborn mind of his own. You can lead a horse to water but……..I have wondered about the effect of ketosis on gout but i have heard many stories that people's gout has been cured by being in ketosis. I do have him on MCT Oil and drinking alkaline water which has helped his gout not to flare up as often. Im open to any advice.
I have been on a strict carnivore diet for almost six years and was on keto diet for 11 years before carnivore. I eat high fat, moderate protein. Recent blood work showed that I am very insulin resistant--hgA1c of 6.0 and uric acid of 8.1! I eat no carbs at all. I don't know how to understand this or what to do about it. Fasting insulin is 3. I'm very distressed about my situation.
You may develop insulin suppression, you can check C peptide in you blood and see how much your body is able to produce insulin, if it’s good then you need to spike your insulin at dinner to turn of glucagon production in pancreas. We need insulin, insulin is not bad thing we just don’t need to overeat high glycemic carbs all the time. Type insulin suppression in UA-cam you will find doctor who talking about this state. Basically, as I understand this mechanism is that your insulin is low because of absence of carbs and your glucagon is always elevated and signaling liver to release sugar, we need insulin to turn off glucagon. God knows what is the truth here we need to test it and hope we will survive tastings :)
And, on other side of this story you have professor Bart Kay who telling that for insulin suppression you don’t need carbs you need more protein not fat, in absence of carbs body will use protein to convert to sugar, basically he said you just need one high protein meat with low fat. Overdosing fat can explain your high uric acid because you produce to much ketone and they are not allowing kidney to release uric acid. My advice will be to you to stop intermittent fasting, keep eating meat, lower your fat and for dinner eat high protein low fat meat to produce more sugar and turn of your glucagon production. Bart Key are not advocating for carbs he explained that eating carbs will trigger Randal Cycle in the cells and in his opinion that is main driver for the construct “insulin resistance” and diabetes. I agree with that, since you are so long on meat you are perfectly adapted to oxidize fat don’t need to trigger Randal Cycle to produce your insulin enough to turn off glucagon.
Allupurinol my friend takes for gout, I’ve never heard of Febuostat (sp?) for uric acid, minute counter 1:15 approximately, what’s the difference please?
I know it's pretty hard to get your body to run on ketones but can't chugging (R)- 3-hydroxybutyric acid potentially mess with your liver's natural production of it? I’m curious because, usually, when you introduce exogenous things your body should be making endogenously, it gets lazy and produces less of it. Why would someone want to supplement it ? Is the point to increase the metabolic regulation and cellular function to a higher degree? I'm new & still working my way through Dr Boz content so I haven't heard the reasoning behind supplementing ketones
Love Dr Rick Johnson. First heard him on his Podcast with Peter Attia.. ( worth a listen). I am stuck with High Blood Sugars. My Mom was Type 1 along with her brother and Sister. I also am a Carrier of Fructose Intolerance Gene . I tend to run higher Uric Acid there is something to the genotype type. Also APOE 4/4 but neither Mom or DD Alzheimer’s but I know I am on the wrong side of this thing I need help. Got put on insulin before getting a positive GAD Angibkdy. Immediately gained 30 pounds. Menopause during pandemic. I was successful with Virta and when I can work out fasting and get to about 1.2 ketones numbers seem to regulate. Anyone give me best lowering blood glucose lowering not insulin. Insulin made me fatter and more insulin resistance Help Help Help
@@soniasbooks Yes, carnivore diet, but have your doctor monitor your insulin. Also, drink lots of water to keep your blood salt concentration down, get some sun exposure, optimize vitamin D and exercise intensely as possible.
I drank half lemon lemon juice mixed with half spoon of apple cyder vinegar and a spoon of olive oil my fasting glucose jumped from 84 to 116 in 20mins?
It’s not so much eating fresh fruit but eating the processed foods that has fructose process sugar in it. That is what is poisoning our bodies. Fruit will spike blood glucose so eating fruit in moderation would be wise. Dr Boz did a video where she stopped to get a healthy snack, bought grapes and her blood glucose spiked. Ended up not being a healthy snack.
I understand all this good information but what I don't understand you said if you've already started developing shrinking of the brain all that kind of stuff that it's not reversible so for those of us who may have the symptoms this could be depressing so I guess we should not listen😮
I'm asking although I can guess- do we metabolize sugar differently? Is there a type of human culturally or otherwise that metabolize sugar in a positive way?
From what I understand fructose can only be metabolised by the liver whereas many cells are able to metabolise glucose. I've also heard from Dr Ken Berry that the A1C test only measures glucose glycation and it does NOT measure fructose. That is possibly why it is important to get a fasting insulin blood test done because that shows how insulin resistant/sensitive you are.
It’s not high sugar needed That’s bad It’s high CARB Carbs turn to sugar ANY carb is sugar intake->all u almond moms scarfing down coconut sugar and dates & figs in ur desserts 🙄
All due respect, but it is a good example when a scientist being close to the causes but far from the solution. According to obesity: cortisol is the winter hormone it is designed to winter environment. And cortisol is triggered by not only ACTH but COLD. And white fat tissue is insulator for us mainly. Vitamin D is the summer hormone, vitamin D will destroy all white fat tissues (we have to find the right switching mechanism between these two hormones). According to uric acid: when mitochondria stop working NAD and FAD are broken down to uric acid. When you restart mitochondria you will need a lot of B2 and B3. Yes, fructose is the real problem, but fructose depletes B1 at ligthspeed (like alcohol) and generates oxalates. And oxalate hides beriberi symptomes for some time. For solution: only fat soluble B1 is working properly as supplementation. AlliThiamine (garlic thiamine) can support brain.
By that stage, the appetite is no longer affected. The dementia has killed it. I watched lots of pts n family (both sides) lose 50+ lbs as their dementia increased. They lose their thirst too. Dementia is now called Type 3 diabetes.
My mother has Alzheimer’s and has always been on the thin side but she is definitely insulin resistant and so am I. I have heard the term skinny fat and there is a word for it.

No proof yet or real research, just a theory, but that may be why some people on a ketogenic diet may have high levels of uric acid and yet not have the bad effects such as gout.
@@Eclecticladylove he mentioned that in the video, ketons suppress kidney excretion of uric acid that’s the case.
This doctor is so good ❤
Recently I got ill and could not eat. I am a person that drops weight too easily and find it hard to maintain my body weight. I eat mostly keto under normal circumstances. To make a long story short, I started drinking coke just to get some calories. That did not make much difference though. After a few days, I bought some off the shelf soup and added this to my diet. Still nothing solid. Imagine my shock when I started gaining weight. According to the calories I should have lost weight, but the opposite happened. Apparently the combination of fructose and some processed food is the ticket, at least in my case. Lesson learned
Very well presented. It will be saved in my public playlist of "Health Rare Information" that I avail to my clients. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Ok the cocoa story... these sound like my kinda ppl. 😂 I recently watched a video of yours Dr Bos saying you really wanted to interview Dr Johnson. I am glad it worked out. I didn't want this one to end. 😊
35:46 " 376 metabolites and only one was strongly associated with Alzheimer's with every test they did and it was uric acid." uric acid
Dr Boz is looking so healthy
She exercises too.
Fantastic interview Dr Boz. So much information to process. It's crazy to hear the benefits of Allulose in this podcast but it's not available in Australia even when it's benefits are so obvious.
Great episode
70s food increased levels of high fructose syrup then gyms became a business😒
I have seen a handful of “healthy runners” die in their 70’s. My guess is that the Carb craze from the 80’s was the root cause of their health issues.
That was excellent, Annette! Very enjoyable and informative.
Awesome info! Thank you!
My aunt has alzheimer's for about 5+ years now. Thin all her life. Low fat, high carbs, works out all her life. High cholesterol and high blood pressure and is NOT t1d or t2d, yet alzheimer's. I watch her 3x a week. She eats sad diet now high carb high sugar is on blood pressure and cholesterol meds. When i get there, she is out of it. Just sitting there and can barely converse she is up but not moving and participating in life. When i feed her carnivore on Tues, by Wednesday she is up and dressed and has conversation and participates in life. By Thursday even though she will speak on same subject 15 times in 5 minutes she is starting to say things like "You've told me this before" . Her nurse has seen a difference in my aunt and making notes in her file. I do not see her bloodwork. But her family has had new blood work done. No new meds. Not sure if testing for uric acid. Can she be insulin resistant? Not sure if her regular doctor tests for IR. TIA
I am sorry to hear about this. This get your aunt off statins, one of their side effects is dementia which you described. Statins cross the blood-brain barrier and stop the brain from making cholesterol. That is dangerous because your brain needs to produce cholesterol to remain healthy and for new neurons to be developed.
It is great that you are starting her on a ketogenic diet that will lower her blood sugar and insulin resistance, which underpins dementia.
Lastly, please note that large buoyant LDL cholesterol is not a health risk. Oxidated LDL cholesterol which becomes small dense LDL cholesterol is what is dangerous. Avoiding seed oils is another key factor.
My belief is that she can be insulin resistant. It is possible. I don't know how her doctor reached the conclusion that she doesn't have diabetes but there's a possibility where, just by looking at her glucose levels, she could be considered not diabetic but her insulin could be sky high, therefore insulin resistant. In this case her brain could be the first and the most affected by the insulin resistance and one of the first signs of diabetes. Maybe, supplementing with BHB, MCT 6, 8 oil fractioned (not 10) and Omega 3 in addition to the ketogenic diet could have good results. And of course if she will have good results meaning low triglycerides and high HDL maybe she should consider reducing stains progressively. They're really horrible for the brain. Of course, all the ideas mentioned in my comment and the others must be discussed with her doctors and care takers. Good luck!
The keto chips he mentions, would love the brand facts on that “mention” that he adds avocados to, please 🙏🏼✨❤
This foraging behaviour sounds like food addiction. We have all seen it and felt that urge to eat even though you are full.
Dr. Anna Cabecca website has urine test strips that do uric acid, pH, and ketones all on one strip.
I appreciate this conversation, and it makes you both HUMANS. Thank you
That was some mess. Basically don't eat fast carbs, especially fructose. Uric acid should be low because there was this correlation (but not causation) with dementia. Not clear the meaning of high uric acid on a keto diet. The "fat switch" was never named.
So was there an answer as to why her patients uric acid, etc kept rising?
Dr. Boz Does this impact your suggestions regarding weekly sardine fasts?
Great Program,Doc why u invite Dr Wheat Belly(William Davis) and Dr David Perlmutter
Yup it's not only about sugar, it's also about wheat. We all need to stop eating wheat.
See Dr. Anna Cabecca for preferred uric lens vs ketones vs low alkaline diet.
Can you test fructose levels in the brain
hey i just got the Keto Mojo...read in the insert that people taking vitamin c may affect the result. whose not taking vit c these days ?
It was impressive
Sugar and seed oils, yummy treats from hell...
If sodium bicarbonate reduces uric acid in the urine, does it also reduce uric acid in the blood?
I was just curious if anyone has any feedback for me. Please note I am working with my GP. I’ve been doing keto for 4 months and have loved it. Lost 60lbs, back to working out and also work in intermittent fasting. To be vulnerable, not always eating enough calories and worry about some nutritional deficiency. Last CBC - some numbers went in the good direction, but my platelets and wbc came in low. I think it’s thrombocytopenia and also have giant platelets. Of course cancer is my worst fear but curious if it’s something on keto I need to tweak or if this could be even related. Love any thoughts. God bless all. ❤
Is there a correlation between high uric acid and severe, debilitating migraines?
So taking the fruits out of diet?
Does this still apply if eating too much protein raises blood sugar? That’s my main concern about carnivore.
Not if you eat the right amount for your body weight and age
So we shouldn’t fast because of the Uric acid? So I am Confused
I am too!!
I've been reading the information by the man that is doing these studies on uric acid and developing an effective flush for the kidneys.
My husband has Alzheimer's, gout, diabetes,high blood pressure and glaucoma. He had a brain scan and the Dr said he has brain shrinkage of a much older man. He did go through the stage of losing weight. I wonder what stage he is in. He won't have anything to do with changing his diet and doesn't believe he has to change. I wish my example of healthy eating and being in ketosis would rub off, but he has a very stubborn mind of his own. You can lead a horse to water but……..I have wondered about the effect of ketosis on gout but i have heard many stories that people's gout has been cured by being in ketosis. I do have him on MCT Oil and drinking alkaline water which has helped his gout not to flare up as often. Im open to any advice.
I have been on a strict carnivore diet for almost six years and was on keto diet for 11 years before carnivore. I eat high fat, moderate protein. Recent blood work showed that I am very insulin resistant--hgA1c of 6.0 and uric acid of 8.1! I eat no carbs at all. I don't know how to understand this or what to do about it. Fasting insulin is 3. I'm very distressed about my situation.
Just replying to get notified if anyone has suggestions for you
I'm in the same boat.
Look at dry fasting. Dr. Dunnings book with a birds name in the title.
You may develop insulin suppression, you can check C peptide in you blood and see how much your body is able to produce insulin, if it’s good then you need to spike your insulin at dinner to turn of glucagon production in pancreas. We need insulin, insulin is not bad thing we just don’t need to overeat high glycemic carbs all the time. Type insulin suppression in UA-cam you will find doctor who talking about this state. Basically, as I understand this mechanism is that your insulin is low because of absence of carbs and your glucagon is always elevated and signaling liver to release sugar, we need insulin to turn off glucagon. God knows what is the truth here we need to test it and hope we will survive tastings :)
And, on other side of this story you have professor Bart Kay who telling that for insulin suppression you don’t need carbs you need more protein not fat, in absence of carbs body will use protein to convert to sugar, basically he said you just need one high protein meat with low fat. Overdosing fat can explain your high uric acid because you produce to much ketone and they are not allowing kidney to release uric acid. My advice will be to you to stop intermittent fasting, keep eating meat, lower your fat and for dinner eat high protein low fat meat to produce more sugar and turn of your glucagon production. Bart Key are not advocating for carbs he explained that eating carbs will trigger Randal Cycle in the cells and in his opinion that is main driver for the construct “insulin resistance” and diabetes. I agree with that, since you are so long on meat you are perfectly adapted to oxidize fat don’t need to trigger Randal Cycle to produce your insulin enough to turn off glucagon.
I believe He is talking about Type 3 diabetes. 23:20
Exercise will also reduce the risk of insulin resistance and Alzheimer's disease.
Allupurinol my friend takes for gout, I’ve never heard of Febuostat (sp?) for uric acid, minute counter 1:15 approximately, what’s the difference please?
I have been very Strict Carnivore for over 6 months--Woke up yesterday with Hurting left Big Toe---GOUT
Oxylate dumping
@@kelsycunningham8452 YEP--AND IT BLOODY HURTS
Have you not tested for uric acid?
Some or all of us stop eating fruits?
ANYthing that turns to glucose also
Glucose is used to make back to fructose! When there’s too much glucose
So need to be lowcarb, period
My wife and I want to join you at Pinchasers but which location in Tampa?
And the role of advancing age in this process, independent of diet ?
What was that prescription for uric acid causing weight loss?
what about honey? In the Middle East Baklava is popular
Honey= 70% fructose
Fructose turns into uric acid.
I know it's pretty hard to get your body to run on ketones but can't chugging (R)- 3-hydroxybutyric acid potentially mess with your liver's natural production of it? I’m curious because, usually, when you introduce exogenous things your body should be making endogenously, it gets lazy and produces less of it.
Why would someone want to supplement it ? Is the point to increase the metabolic regulation and cellular function to a higher degree?
I'm new & still working my way through Dr Boz content so I haven't heard the reasoning behind supplementing ketones
So is dementia prevalent in Asia where they eat white rice?
Yay! 😂
This supports the carnivore theory of priming. Retraining your body that it doesn't have to store the food..
He never answered the question about what number for glucose effects uric acid
He said it's a "dimmer switch". In other words, there's no threshold when it suddenly turns on or off.
Love Dr Rick Johnson. First heard him on his Podcast with Peter Attia.. ( worth a listen). I am stuck with High Blood Sugars. My Mom was Type 1 along with her brother and Sister. I also am a Carrier of Fructose Intolerance Gene . I tend to run higher Uric Acid there is something to the genotype type. Also APOE 4/4 but neither Mom or DD Alzheimer’s but I know I am on the wrong side of this thing I need help. Got put on insulin before getting a positive GAD Angibkdy. Immediately gained 30 pounds. Menopause during pandemic. I was successful with Virta and when I can work out fasting and get to about 1.2 ketones numbers seem to regulate. Anyone give me best lowering blood glucose lowering not insulin. Insulin made me fatter and more insulin resistance Help Help Help
Carnivore diet
@@soniasbooks Yes, carnivore diet, but have your doctor monitor your insulin. Also, drink lots of water to keep your blood salt concentration down, get some sun exposure, optimize vitamin D and exercise intensely as possible.
I drank half lemon lemon juice mixed with half spoon of apple cyder vinegar and a spoon of olive oil my fasting glucose jumped from 84 to 116 in 20mins?
Did anyone catch the name of the GOUT Dr. RJ mentions are 30:54, something like Petere Dalinoy?????
Dr. Peter Delannoy
So I am SERIOUSLY supposed to believe that the problem with all these people getting dementia was all this fruit they were eating?
It’s not so much eating fresh fruit but eating the processed foods that has fructose process sugar in it. That is what is poisoning our bodies. Fruit will spike blood glucose so eating fruit in moderation would be wise. Dr Boz did a video where she stopped to get a healthy snack, bought grapes and her blood glucose spiked. Ended up not being a healthy snack.
I understand all this good information but what I don't understand you said if you've already started developing shrinking of the brain all that kind of stuff that it's not reversible so for those of us who may have the symptoms this could be depressing so I guess we should not listen😮
I'm asking although I can guess- do we metabolize sugar differently? Is there a type of human culturally or otherwise that metabolize sugar in a positive way?
There’s no positive about sugar
From what I understand fructose can only be metabolised by the liver whereas many cells are able to metabolise glucose. I've also heard from Dr Ken Berry that the A1C test only measures glucose glycation and it does NOT measure fructose. That is possibly why it is important to get a fasting insulin blood test done because that shows how insulin resistant/sensitive you are.

Interesting conversation. I don't understand your laughter when you find results of the tests.
Do Bears get Alzheimer/dementia during hibernation and then do they reverse it?
Nope
Inadvertant? C'mon man seed oil, fillers and high fructose...
HOMEOSTASIS...... just sayin' folk's 😁 Thanks Dr Johnson

Ha …
It’s not high sugar needed
That’s bad
It’s high CARB
Carbs turn to sugar
ANY carb is sugar intake->all u almond moms scarfing down coconut sugar and dates & figs in ur desserts 🙄
Fructose and glucose have different metabolic effects...sugar is NOT always sugar...
Too much side info laugh laugh laugh. Get to the point guys.
All due respect, but it is a good example when a scientist being close to the causes but far from the solution.
According to obesity: cortisol is the winter hormone it is designed to winter environment. And cortisol is triggered by not only ACTH but COLD. And white fat tissue is insulator for us mainly.
Vitamin D is the summer hormone, vitamin D will destroy all white fat tissues (we have to find the right switching mechanism between these two hormones).
According to uric acid: when mitochondria stop working NAD and FAD are broken down to uric acid. When you restart mitochondria you will need a lot of B2 and B3.
Yes, fructose is the real problem, but fructose depletes B1 at ligthspeed (like alcohol) and generates oxalates. And oxalate hides beriberi symptomes for some time.
For solution: only fat soluble B1 is working properly as supplementation. AlliThiamine (garlic thiamine) can support brain.
Sardines + yuck, no way! NO FISH OR SEAFOOD!
😊BEEF, CHICKEN, PORK!!!
😂
Ridiculous
You should have a photo of Trump on any video discussing dementia.
My mother was in a nursing home and none of the patients with full on Alzheimer’s were OVERWEIGHT! So that ain’t it!
By that stage, the appetite is no longer affected. The dementia has killed it. I watched lots of pts n family (both sides) lose 50+ lbs as their dementia increased. They lose their thirst too.
Dementia is now called Type 3 diabetes.
Yes my mother lost a lot of weight once diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (even while eating and drinking quite a lot of fructose in her nursing home).
My mother has Alzheimer’s and has always been on the thin side but she is definitely insulin resistant and so am I. I have heard the term skinny fat and there is a word for it.
Do yourself a favour.... don't jump to conclusions 😔
