FRIED CHICKEN INTELLIGENCE BOOSTING FOOD ~!

he CNBC headline. “A Harvard nutritionist and brain expert says she avoids these five foods that ‘weaken memory and focus.” She is also the author of “This Is Your Brain on Food,” an Amazon #1 bestseller in obsessive-compulsive disorders. I haven’t read the book, but it would be pointless based on her article, which appeared on many other news outlets.
I am well aware of the extensive junk science in the field of nutrition, and her article is just another reflection of it.
It is the standard attempt:
to extrapolating rodent’s studies to humans; to equate correlations as a cause-and-effect relationship; unwarranted chemophobia; cherry-picking the variable you would like to demonize.

Everything in moderation........................
I’m really done with all these detractors-of-what-you-eat scare mongers trying to make money off it. I don’t care about their qualifications, history, education, provenance or whatever. It’s all about the Benjamins to them and they don’t care a whit about the reality of it as long as they can make book.
Milk: good, then bad, then 2%, then skim, then back to whole and repeat.
Eggs: good, then bad, then whites/no yolk, then Eggbeaters then what?
Meat: Red no good, white good. Pork, chicken, fish then contaminants [ooga boogs].......Oh! and don’t forget the veggies! Vegans and Vegetarian “I don’t eat anything that had a face” waifs who look like death warmed over..
Argghh, that looks tasty!
All based on the Vegan agenda push.
People who eat a diet high in fatty fried foods have a greater chance of getting alzheimers. This has been known for quite some time. Also people who smoke get is more than non smokers.
As mentioned above moderation.
The number one risk factor for dementia, as well as most other diseases is aging. As we age, everything deteriorates in our bodies and minds.
Just because something is published does not mean we need to pay attention to it.
Academia is long been “Publish or perish”. Peer review means little when these publications are on the web and so many have inherit biases about what gets passed.
Media SEEKS OUT ‘scare headlines’ as click-bait. They are filling a bottomless pit in the 24/7/365 news cycle. Their priorities are not to help you but to ‘excite’ you!
Human psychology is much the same as it has been for CENTURIES but it is the ENVIRONMENT that has changed! In a SINGLE Lifetime (~75 years), we have gone from a radio/newspaper/magazine information pipeline to this wide-open firehose today. We NEED to practice information discrimination (the good kind) to keep from going crazy.
How old was the Colonel when he died?
“The number one risk factor for dementia, as well as most other diseases is aging”
How do you explain dementia showing up in significant amounts today in people in their late 40’s and 50’s? It’s people diet today which tends to be fatty and processed foods.
If the weather is nice...I go to the store and walk around some more.
It's not JUST about eating.
Anyone have the picture of Congressman Steve Cohen and his KFC bucket?
“Harvard nutritionist”
In other words, an oxymoron, with the emphasis on moron.
These are the same people pushing the vax to save your life.
KFC,
If I had a Nickle for
Every Bucket!
90
Seems like a pretty good run for a dude.
People don’t get it that the normal human lifespan is about 80 years. Anything after that is gravy (as the Colonel might say), and those years might be pretty good, but probably not. If you look at charts dating from 1900, you see that more deaths occurred at younger ages than now, but there is a steep increase in the death rate starting in the 80+ age groups whether it’s 1900 or 2020. Nobody lives forever no matter what they eat or how they live.
True, and of course there’s fried chicken...
I believe that if you make it to at least 70 (I’m 72) you don’t need to be reading all this new nonsense and drastically change your regimen.
I’m not sure what you mean by significant amounts, but perhaps some of that could be due to drug use or better diagnosis. In the past, such cases might not have been attributed to a diagnosis of dementia. It’s sad, but some families have an inherited form of dementia that shows up at an early age. There was a story recently about a family where 4 out of the 5 or 6 siblings had developed early onset dementia.
We like to think we have more control over our health and aging than we actually do. Nobody can even agree on what eating right is.
