- 2017 UC Davis Alzheimer's Community Engagement Series
This is the second lecture in a six part series offered by the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center for the Sacramento Metropolitan Area and communities throughout Northern California. The theme of this year’s series is healthy brain aging and prevention. Six lectures, planned around this theme, include preventative information on healthy brain aging, vitamins and supplements, diet, alternative medicine approaches, social interaction and exercise.
As our population ages, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia threaten to reach epidemic proportions within several decades. Of paramount importance is the need to develop both treatments and prevention strategies. This presentation, by Dr. Joshua Miller, will review evidence that certain vitamins (i.e., folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and vitamin D) can slow or prevent aged related cognitive decline.
Dr. Joshua Miller is Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutritional Sciences in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. His research focuses on the influences of B vitamins and related metabolites on cognitive function and risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in older adults.
As a retired biochemist (84), I have been taking the vitamin group for 20 yrs. Just did a IQ test, mathematical and Pattern recognition, and scored 119. I'm still trading stocks and shares and creating Excel spreadsheets.
If you are trading stocks and shares you must have something wrong with your brain. Buy the index with a low cost ETF and forget about trading.
There is no fun in index trading, boring too. I like charts, trends, momentum etc. Picking an index is when you go into an old people’s home.
My Dad is about your age and doesn't work but is doing very well, as is my Mom. They eat a healthier version of omnivore diet. It's good you do what you want.
Wow!👍 Just came across this video. Powerful info & wonderful presentation!!! I am sharing this as far & wide as I can. Also with my GP. Tks!👍
Dr. Miller gives a very excellent lecture. Thank you.
Excellent!! I'm a big believer in vitamins!!! Basics are very important for wellbeing 😊
What about Omega-3 Fatty Acids, EPA, DHA???
Other studies seem to indicate you need the Omega-3's in addition to B-Vitamins?
Omega 3s increase your chance of developing Atrial Fibrillation. Very dangerous.
Good man
I take vitamins, but am not sure which ones l really need, and my doctors in the past, and present doctor( who l love) don't advise me on this subject, unfortunately, so l have to guess about which ones to take and the proper time to take them.
top video.
experimenting on people without their consent is not ok
The heck with anyone who is not smart or interested enough to actually look at the graphic data and interpretation ... because, really, what else is there. What I am really sick and tired of is the stereotypical kindly doctors making videos about this subject and then finding out they are selling supplements in the end. Professor David Scott made a video about this talking about how B Vitamins alone are insufficient to get a stopping or reversing cognitive decline effect - without Omega-3's, EPA/DHA. I think the dosage was 250mg of each. Any comment on the data for that? He is on a video by "The Heights" who are selling a package every month for $40 ... almost $500 a year. Using vegan sources of Omega-3s, but no proof or data - OR GRAPHS - about toxicity of any kind in either fish oil or vegan algae sources of Omega-3.
I just watched his presentation and it did not include a sales pitch. He gave for free the information of what you need so that you are free to pursue your own source.
@grainiac The length of the other commenter's whining pretty much points to it's a TROLL that's whining
@@nopjack7278
A real troll goes around reading year old posts and misinterpreting them and calling people names.
Asking people to read the charts and graphs is hardly whining.
Asking what is the dosage of Omega-3's is not whining.
Asking about the corruption of research by commercialization is not whining.
IN FACT, there is not whining at all in my short one paragraph comment.
Would nutritive yeast use take care of this. B12 and homosistine tests?
Non fortified nutritional yeast is good for most of B vitamins but pasture grown ox or lamb kidneys are even better. Liver is fantastic for B12. Organic beetroot is great for folate & it's leaves are good source of potassium.
@@ellanola6284 Those seem kind of rare options for normal people--- pasture-grown ox? Organic beet root? Where to find and how expensive?
Omega 3’s!
Omega 3 with b12
Can we not answer this question targeted at Vitamins about Prevent Age-Related Cognitive Decline everything from diet, exercise, meditation etc. And mostly the answer would be in the negative. Preventing cognitive decline is nearly impossible with a narrow scope or room to exceptions. Even the question that public would wish to know is would Supplemental vitamins Prevent Age-Related Cognitive Decline which must be answer firmly in the negative. Then we need to specify what age the vitamins were being used at because ante natal usage is a special case.
Good points ... YT videos can alert your to possible information, but for the most part all these great authorities are all trying to sell something, usually by falsely claiming that only their product will work ... which happens to cost 10 times as much as supermarket brand products? So sick of the charlatans and cheats. Not saying this video is because because I just started it.
A lot of research money is appropriated and then the medical establishment decides how to prioritize it. Not saying a representative or senator can’t put some pressure on but it’s pretty rare in this anti-pork era for them to specifically appropriate. In Alzeheimer’s the establishment wants a miracle pill to reverse the disease. So far, mostly a waste. Very little work been funded 20, 30, or even 10 years before symptoms.
Folate: the more powerful, faster-acting placebo the world has been waiting for.
Even better with water, the most under-appreciated medical adjuvant known to science.
Can you please share more information on this? I just started a dementia regime, including B12 and folate, and are noticing a difference! I'm thinking of increasing the folate cause I think I've been deficient since birth.

Go get your levels tested by your doctor and a qualified lab ... why as some twerp on UA-cam?
I am writing this late in 2021. This a very good lecture but the recommendation not to take more than 4000iu of D3 a day is out of date and way, way too low.
And you are posing as an authority? Or just giving us the recommendation from some other website you like or represent? I don't take any Vitamin D and I just had my blood test and I am high on Vitamin D. 2000 IU or 50mcg is 5 times the RDA for vitamin D, not to mention if you get any sun at all in moderate latitudes? 4000 IU would be 10 times the RDA. Really now.
