Scientists at UCSF have uncovered a surprising culprit behind brain aging: a protein called FTL1. In mice, too much FTL1 caused memory loss, weaker brain connections, and sluggish cells. But when researchers blocked it, the animals regained youthful brain function and sharp memory. The discovery suggests that one protein could be the master switch for aging in the brain — and targeting it may one day allow us to actually reverse cognitive decline, not just slow it down.

Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most
Too bad they couldn’t get that protein to Biden

Dad and I had a friend that looked a whole lot like Merle.
Exactly.

I put no trust in “ man’s scientific” efforts….one look at the deadly and debilitating mRNA jabs says it all. If our Creator wanted us to live forever, we would….but we don’t. Don’t buy into it.
Psalm 90:10
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Old people need to REDUCE their level of FTL1!
FTL1 (ferritin light chain 1) is a protein primarily involved in iron storage and metabolism in the body, and it is not typically found in specific foods. Instead, it is produced by the body itself.
The protein FTL1 (Ferritin Light Chain 1) is associated with cognitive decline and aging. To counteract its effects, consider incorporating the following dietary recommendations:
—Animal-based foods: These provide essential nutrients that are bioavailable and can support overall health and cognitive function.
—Avoid plant-based foods: These may lead to iron overload and could negatively impact brain health.
—Focus on nutrient-rich foods: Foods rich in iron and antioxidants may help mitigate the effects of FTL1 on cognitive health.
Incorporating these dietary choices may help in managing the effects of FTL1 and supporting brain health.
So what is the compound they used to stimulate the metabolism that blocks the FTL1?
Is there a supplement that contains it?
“What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.” ~ Dan Quayle
I miss all the people I’ve lost along the way.
In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have been a tour guide.
Flowers for Algernon
True dat.
Lost in space, following the cardboard ice cream truck.
Only one problem... They forgot where they put it.
Sounds like we need a negative supplement.
Science bump for later......
Interesting...I thought iron rich foods (meat) would be the problem, not plant based...you must have read the article.
Probably a good thing they couldn’t!
