TMAO is believed to cause major cardiovascular issues, encouraging soft plaque formation in blood vessels. However, some forms of the foods that make TMAO in our bodies (foods with carnitine, betaine, lecithin, and choline) do not appear to cause a problem. One form of choline, choline bitartrate, which is normally sold as a supplement, definitely shows a problem, while phosphatidylcholine from egg yolks does not.

In part, the TMAO effect seems tied to how long TMAO circulates in the bloodstream, and shorter bursts apparently don’t make issues show up, of consequence, according to some analysis I’ve read. However, keeping TMAO from even showing up from foods that should produce it for most people seems to partly come from sometimes pathogenic gut bacteria.

A recent study I may post describes how taurine, an amino acid common in animal-based protein, undoes the damage TMAO starts causing, once in the bloodstream.

Another taxpayer grant ‘study’.

I’m shocked that they ‘came up with something’.

It never ends.
