“However, as a neurologist, I can tell you that there are some other surprising and lesser-known foods you should avoid in order to prevent serious neurological issues.

I never eat these four foods:”

I knew this over 70 years ago!

[Uncle Miltie]

Unpasteurized milk tastes lots better.

There are risks. I’ll decide for myself.

[Puppage]

I loved the grouper in Alaska.

[Red Badger]

It’s okay. Cold waters................

[Macoozie]

4 things nobody should eat.
How surprising.

They get the obvious right, only sometimes.

Why-oh-Why did “Safe and Effective” guidance fall off the map with “that thing that some people did”?

[rdl6989]

Everybody knows not to eat something from a dented can.

Warning people about damaged cans and botulism and eating raw pork somehow don’t seem relevant to the title, I think we expected something about more subtle effects of some foods, on the brain.

“I’m a brain surgeon, things I avoid to keep my heart healthy”
1. I will not cross a street without looking both ways.

2. I only scuba dive with a partner.

3. I wear a dust mask in dusty work places.

The best way to extend your life is to avoid crime ridden Democrat run cities.

Unpasteurized milk tastes lots better<

When we lived in rural Illinois, a local teen boy sold us goat milk. He calledus when the goat was milked, and I picked up the milkwhen it was still warm. No chance of those diseases when the milk is that fresh.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Oh, and #5) Never shake a baby.

[Flaming Conservative]

Yuk. My husband says it tastes (and smells) like guts.

[PsyCon]

“… avoid crime ridden Democrat run cities.”

Now that is some very good advice!

[Reeses]

Around 90% of wild plants are inedible to humans, and many of the remaining 10% are not something a human would ever eat unless starving. In contrast, only around 10% of wild animals are inedible to humans. With garlic, butter, and a smokey fire, most of the 90% are delicious. Humans are hunters. Without great care, and double blind studies, most gathered food is toxic. Let the animals eat your veggies for you. They don’t have long to live.

My neighbor, a neurologist, swears everyone middle aged and up should take fish oil, beet root, and a handful of fruit-based anti-oxidants and flavanoids together with Cialis every night (male and female).

Flushes out the brain.

Wife and I do it. Other than wife having a headache in the AM, haven’t noticed any changes. LOL.

[bobbo666]

Yeah, how old is this “transformative” study? Geesh. As to uncooked pork; rubbish, if the swine is raised in a farm in the US. Trich was wiped out years ago.

I knew of a family on Gambell Island in the Bering Strait who all got trichonosis from eating fermented walrus flipper so there’s that…

[Red Badger]

I hardly ever eat fermented walrus flipper ......So I’m okay.........

[GingisK]

4. Never fart near an open flame. ;-D
