What we’re still getting wrong about BRAIN FOODS: Georgia Ede, M.D. | mbg Podcast

[@chuxTube68]

I love this lady! Dr Ede's presentations are so helpful and informational. I like that she tells you what she knows and makes it very clear what she doesn't know, but gently asserts her hypothesis.

[@Athenaikos]

I like her and her approach, a lot!

[@ellie698]

[@Lightuntomypath279]

You don't need to drink alcohol to be social. Also, if you're drinking when social that could be every night for some people. I'm Italian and we had wine on the table occasionally when growing up but as an adult I liked it too much. I could see it was becoming a habit so I quit. My mom was an alcoholic from wine but quit. My grandmother drink too much wine in the evening. I've spent time in Italy and they share a bottle among many people at dinner. It's not a lot but in America we over do things. This socializing idea of drinking being fine is an excuse to drink. It's not necessary to have alcohol to be social.

[@patdenman3887]

Bravo!

[@kellymcvay2860]

100% agree. If you need alcohol to be social you have a bigger problem

[@nancyj621]

Agree 100%! “At least I don’t drink alone” does not make you better than “social drinking”. Alcohol is a poison either way. Adults can choose their poison.

[@Banana-lk7tf]

My thoughts exactly! People need to stop normalising drinking to be social!

[@Iliana___2532]

Dat is not true tho

[@audiolatte]

Thank you so much for this, I struggle with mental issues like perpetual anxiety and really bad memory problems to the point where I'm really terrified of what's going on with my brain. I have severe attention problems as well so for me to be this engaged throughout an entire video is not a normal occurrence. very informative video and both of you were amazing. Again thank you so much for this video from the bottom of my heart.

Have you considered trying the following? High dose vitamin D, selenium, iodine, high healthy fats, a meat-based diet, pregnenolone, OTC brain boosters like saffron or thesis, general nootropics (more info throughout ytoob), methylene blue, Marine source Omega-3. Also RNA drops if you can afford.

This is a great episode. Terrific interview. Georgia Ede is a national treasure. The attempt to rationalize alcohol use here is quite a stretch. We know it’s harmful to your brain and body. Can some people use it periodically without terribly detrimental effects. Probably. Is it optimal for human health. Absolutely not.

I have just started watching Dr Georgia Ede I have to say I am very impressed

[@NoTrashInHeaven]

27:32 When he said he " views alcohol almost like a Trojan horse for a social setting", speaking about how the Mediterranean is often equated with consuming wine in a social gathering , I was hoping he'd say the trojan horse is thinking you always have to have wine for such a gathering. It's ubiquitous, almost like you can't be social without it. And sadly, that is true for some people. They've become dependent on wine to feel relaxed, especially in a social setting.

The answer isn't smoothies. It's raw milk. If you're in it for nutrition, I fail to see how a smoothie of any type is more effective than a glass of raw milk. Your top end grass fed whey has either sunflower lecithin, a source of omega-6 fats, and/or Stevia which has been shown to be best avoided. That's before getting around to what else to put in it. Meanwhile, raw milk has 100% of what mammals need to survive in 100% bioavailable forms.

Sure do have to be careful with supplements too. I live in an area that is often overcast in the fall and winter. We do have our sunny days too but can be under dull skies for long periods . So I up my d3 in the winter. I started taking a Kirkland brand d3 , after about a week I experienced sore knees. My Natural path read the label and asked if I am sensitive to wool.. I am. She pointed out that the tablets are made from lanolin. Stoped them went to another brand with k2 . Same results. Stopped them and successfully took a tablet d3 no k2. All good for months. Went to my health food store to restock, Was informed the company no longer sells it in solid tablet form… apparently consumers want gel caps. Took it home .. yup after a few days inflammation set in. Hmm ..well a little late, but I read the bottle label and there it was Flax seed oil! I eat meat based diet and seed oil has always inflamed my joints. Lesson here for me ..read labels!! And remember supplement manufacturers are also in it for the money and will put in what the trend / consumer will pay for. On the hunt for solid pill form now .Simple d3 nothing added. I take cod liver oil too. K2 is plant based, I eat ghee that delivers k4 the human based k vitamin, the one that is in the umbilical cord at birth. Watch for the sneaky changes that occur with our tried and true products we learn to trust. Good health to all.

[@dennisward43]

I'm no fan of highly process food and certainly not of foods high in sugars (starches and grains, included) but I am also cautious about saturated fats. Around 35 minutes, in when the doctor says that because we have always eaten meat and atherosclerosis is much more prevalent these days she is telling the truth. But a big reason for this is because people died (and usually much earlier than they do today, thank goodness, because of many other diseases (as a result of the invention of penicillin, vaccinations etc), wars, lack of safety in workplaces, etc. And so people mostly died before long term diseases had a chance to become such a big killer. So for that reason we can't rule out the dangers of eating too much meat. I would have thought this was an obvious point that she should have mentioned.

[@JRR100]

Nope because it is not based on any scientific evidence nor is it hypothetically plausible.

[@dennisward43]

@@JRR100 There is no evidence of wars, famines, plagues, natural disasters and lack of advanced medicines in the past? Or am I just wasting my time on someone who does not understand logic. Simply put if you die early you can not die later in life of age related diseases.

Yes, he is the kind of presenter we are seeing too many of on KZbin/podcasts who just want $$$$ with their brands, and to confuse their audiences on health information, just like the media have succeeded over the years. They have so many different guests saying complete opposite things from each other and it does nothing for the audience because there's no consistent message.

I think that’s a bit of a sad commentary that alcohol is positive for social interaction. I see it very differently. Alcohol is just a very accepted drug in the society. The dangers of alcohol to our body are quite clear and I don’t think they promote true relationship at all. One glass of wine fine but the abusive alcohol is very easy and actually from the studies I’ve read alcohol consumption is going down in the United States because people understand that it is hazardous to their health and well-being.
