Antioxidant Role in Depression and Anxiety
Oxidative stress with chronic inflammation in the brain is associated with the development of neuropsychiatric disorders including major depression and anxiety.
Farmed fish- “Cesspool” paradise
Farmed fish have up to ten times the levels of pollutants than wild fish. Fish waste and also uneaten feed drop to the bottom beneath these farms and start to decompose. Also, the excrement of the animals themselves is used as fish feed. In order to cope with these conditions farmed fish are vaccinated as minnows. After vaccination fish is always on antibiotics and pesticides.
Fish toxicity- The most toxic meat
Most of the pollution is washed away from the land and will end up in the ocean eventually. If the pollutant is persistent it will remain in the ocean. The concentration in the ocean water will be low but the plankton and algae will filter the water and then the bioaccumulation in the food chain will begin.
Sulforaphane- The superpower of broccoli
Sulforaphane is the most potent natural phase 2 enzyme-inducer know to science. It is also demonstrated that sulforaphane is a dose-related inhibitor of carcinogen-induced mammary tumorigenesis.
Alcohol health risks- The “French paradox”, “the wine”, and “in moderation”
Somehow we all believe that one glass of wine is not all that bad and can actually be good and health-promoting because of all of the antioxidants from the grapes. People are not aware that alcohol does other things than “just” killing our brain cells or stressing our liver. It is a genotoxic, cancerous, pro-inflammatory mutagen.
Lectins- Paradox of the “Plant Paradox”
The paradox of the “Plant Paradox” is that people who eat lectins (beans and whole grains) have less cancer.
The humans omnivores dilemma- Meat consumption, probiotic bacteria, inflammation, and the gut
There is a fundamental difference between the way the digestive tract works in plant-eating and meat-eating species. The composition of the microbiome depends on the food we eat. One type ferment fiber another type putrefies the meat, and not all of them are probiotic.
Cooked meat bacteria endotoxemia- Inflammation and diet
Even dead non-probiotic bacteria do count as toxins. One of the leading causes of hundreds of studies that display enlarged inflammation from animal foods, but not from most plant foods is a consequence of a toxic load of dead bacteria endotoxins in animal products.
Inflammation and diet- Vegan argument
The higher the overall inflammation the greater the damage done to the DNA. The greater the damage to DNA the shorter the life and the greater the chance of disease. Almost all of the chronic diseases are associated with chronic inflammation from cancer, to autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, basically most of the diseases ever tested.
Our body has evolved to receive a burst of protective antioxidants anytime we eat but there are not present in animal foods.
