The Vegan Brain, by Georgia Ede MD
Once again, an offering that is only new to me, but she has such awesome things to say I wanted to share.
In The Vegan Brain: Plant-based diets, micronutrients, and mental health, Dr. Ede declares: Quote:
And BOOM! It's ON. Quote:
Well, I picked the right day to start Keto. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote:
Maybe I can tell this to my mother as many times as she told me to eat my vegetables (which I never, ever, liked as a kid, and to this day.) Quote:
Also, it is fairly well known now that the ability to synthesize Vitamin D from sunlight drops as we age, which is why I supplement with both D3 and K2. Quote:
All I can say is "See?!?!?!" Quote:
This is probably the most recognized deficiency, and the most likely to be admitted to by vegans. "But I supplement!" is not the panacea they imagine. In Thinking of going vegan? Read this first. the warning is: Quote:
Stage 3 is the WORST level. It comes down to bio-availability, which is 50% in meat and fish, but only 9% in eggs. What's more, I think plant-based diets are so deficient in so many things it interferes with full absorption and ability to use it correctly in the body. Back to Dr. Ede: Quote:
Like I said. Quote:
How many vegans and vegetarians show up at the doctor for anemia? Lots, though they are loathe to admit it. And this can turn into pernicious anemia, which can kill you. Quote:

In closing, Dr. Ede declares: Quote:
Personally? I think the Vegan Brain is why they act so irrational. It's sad, it really is. As an animal rights activist since the age of 12, I understand: but they are going about it all the wrong way, with lies and stubbornness instead of adult moral decisions and actual science. I think a far better solution to animal issues are to push for:
This is a highly personal thing to me, as ya'll can probably tell. :lol: Plus I live with four rescue cats, who are obligate carnivores. I also fight for them. |
Excellent. Thanks!

Very interesting.

I volunteered in a shelter with two of my girls at different times, for 18 years. Over population is the biggest problem, obviously. Spay and neuter is my mantra. Right now in my area, there are probably 2000 pit bulls that are homeless and in various shelters just here. It does make me mad that ignorant people would do this. The first thing I do with my pets is fix them.
I have also raised livestock for a good part of my life and one thing my father instilled in me is to respect the animals. He taught me the same thing about hunting, don't kill anything you don't eat. I have no problem with knowing that the animals are used for human consumption, as long as it is done humanly. That being said, I know that vegans have it all wrong. There is a lot more going on with some of them than just wanting to eat a certain way for some mystical greater good of animals in general. I have a friend who barely eats meat. She's chronically deficient in Iron. She also doesn't eat many vegetables, she just eats lots of carbs, pies, cakes instead of meals of meat and veggies. She has moments of memory lapses and she's told me about cognitive issues she is having.She even passed out at a carnival and attributed it to the heat and being dehydrated. I tell her to eat more meat but she won't listen. I gave her an Atkins book but it fell on deaf ears. I have also met many animal "rescuers" through the years. Sorry to say that I found many of them to be animal hoarders who figured out a way to legitimize their affliction and elevate their behavior to the level of a savior. The last time I adopted a dog, the lady rescuer, at the last minute wanted to meet me at a Petsmart instead of her house. (she didn't want me to see the animals or conditions) So I ended up doing exactly what you are never supposed to do, which is what I told her, buying a puppy in a parking lot. I had driven a couple of hundred miles to get the pup and traded emails for weeks and I was ready for this pup to be paart of our family, so she got me. Then she told me she just had her fixed the day before by an unlicensed person on her kitchen table (I kid you not). When I got back with the pup, I went straight to the vet because the incision was already getting infected. This lady has a web-site, she does pet adoptions at pet marts with her group, I was referred to her, she was supposed to be legit and that's what I ended up with. It's hard to say what drives these people, maybe it's some sense of belonging to a group of like minded people, however misguided they are, IDK but I definitely know that being deficient in B-12 isn't helping the vegans think clearly. |
I couldn’t agree more, Meme #1. People who write scenarios and cast themselves at the lead should pursue a theatrical outlet, not try to make their fantasies fit into real life.

Yesterday in The Daily Mail:
DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Sorry vegans, I won't give up my juicy steak any time soon https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/...FBjZOB6 h1pQLk One quote: Quote:

Not only that, i have discovered that my body is not at all successful in extracting protein from plant food. And that meat also improves my mood! I think I need those amino acids to make enough neurotransmitters. |
I was a vegetarian 95% of the time for many years and mostly vegan for two years until one of my grad students asked if I knew I often started a new sentence in the middle of the previous one. I had noticed it myself but had passed it off as my mind thinking faster than my mouth. But it was really a mix of brain fog and lack of focus & concentration that I never experience while eating ketogenically.
The reason cereals & "healthywholegrains" are full of vitamins and minerals is because they are "fortified" with them. You could just as easily eat the box they came in and pop a multivitamin. |

Apparently, dieticians get squirrelly about “cutting out whole food groups” but in the case of refined grains, there is no there, there. |
What Diedra said about eating the fortified box tops...that reminds me of those rice cakes that they pushed in WW that was like eating an old shoe. But it's a whole grain, fortified shoe. LOLOL

If you laid the white cheddar rice cakes I ate in those days end to end...

Not me, I tried to eat it a couple of times and decided that this is BS, this is just not normal human food :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: also, can you just imagine the chemical process they put rice through to have it end up puffed and molded in a block. |

I figured it was shot from guns like Sugar Pops used to claim :lol: |
