In this video I spoke with Vijay Yadav, Assistant Professor at the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia university researching functional connections between human metabolism and disorders. Earlier this year his team published on the role of taurine and how supplementation in a mouse models improved many markers of health. Here we discuss Vijay’s interest and research further.

Hearing this research just validate more my decision to become a carnivore. I've been on a Ketogenic diet for the last 5 years as a carnivore eating 90%+ animal products. Going into my 60's it's turned out to be the best decision I could of made. At 55 I was 10% overweight, congested with systemic inflammation, hay fever, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, flaky skin and was flabby and unfit. All of that is reversed or eliminated and I feel healthier in my 60's than my 40's or 50's. Also Time Restricted eating from the work of Dr. Satchin Panda on Circadian Insights into Exercise Timing, Melatonin Biology, and Peak Cognition has been a life changer. Happy New Year everyone.

Also, animal foods, especially animal fat, are among the lowest deuterium foods. That is even more true for pasture-raised and wild-caught. Plus, fat--burning produces deuterium-free metabolic water.

Domestic cat aging / longevity is interesting. Feral cats live on average only 2-5 yrs. Pet cats live 12- 18 yrs. But the record lifespan for a pet cat is a whopping 38 yrs, held by Creme Puff. Creme Puff's human, Jake Perry, fed her 'on top of dry commercial cat food, a home-cooked breakfast of eggs, turkey bacon, broccoli, coffee with cream, and-every two days-about an eyedropper full of red wine to “circulate the arteries.” ' He also gave them lots of enrichment and love. I can't help thinking the capacity for radical lifespan extension in domestic cats might have something to do with bile acid metabolism, which is dependent on taurine. ~ Aside - I notice in comments a wide range of reactions to the level of technical detail provided in this video. Personally, I prefer more detail. It must be difficult to find the right balance.

A topic I would really like to see addressed is harmful B12 analogues. They can be present in B12 supplements, which is why some prefer cyanocobalamin as opposed to methylcobalamin since the former is more shelf stable. But even more interesting is that harmful B12 analogues are made endogenously and they are higher in Alzheimer disease (see 'Analogues, ageing and aberrant assimilation of vitamin B12 in Alzheimer's disease'). I suspect they may be a by-product of itaconate production (see 'The Human Knockout Gene CLYBL Connects Itaconate to Vitamin B12'). Another possibility is generation of harmful B12 analogues by gut microbiota, but they should not be able to enter the blood stream.

It would be neat to have the values (and plot) of Taurine levels in different age groups. This would help inform dosage recommendations per age. (e.g., how much do I take if I'm 60 years old?)

I think there was mention of a transporter for absorption of taurine from the GI tract? Would be good to know what the transport limit is, as supplementing above that limit would presumably not accomplish anything. If increasing the level of taurine is advantageous, but we can’t absorb enough from diet/supplementation to reach the maximum beneficial level, then would need another way. Like shots, or even gene therapy to ramp up the body’s own production. I’m also curious now, if B12’s only purpose is to help the body make its own taurine, or if B12 has additional functions… And with the various functions that taurine supports, I wonder if it is the foundation for a whole set of processes.

B12 does a lot of stuff; the Linus Pauling Institute has an entry on it in their micronutrient database. In addition to the stuff listed on the LPI entry, B12 is an LRRK2 inhibitor - may be beneficial in some types of Parkinson's, but also could be implicated in lung adenocarcinoma (and possibly other cancer types).

I would look into creatine, protein (whey) and magnesium supplementation (you can choose magnesium taurate to get both magnesium & taurine at the same time) together with some strength training according to your needs & abilities. The strength training is IMHO more important but those supplements should be safe & efficient for most people.

@eugeniebreida1583 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for you ideas. And I agree on the strength training, which is less inspiring as the joints are worn and more inflamed/less cushioned. I tend not to eat 'magic powders' (like whey protein, for example), it seems so 'processed'/unnatural. How can I, or should I?, get over this aversion? How would you sell me on organic/grassfed etc etc whey protein.. Thanks! (brand names encouraged) @@ayasugihada

@@eugeniebreida1583 Take baby formulas - the stuff that goes in is also processed to the same degree. But it really ain't that big of a problem if you choose CFM filtered. It is mechanical not chemical filtration. The level of processing does not differ all that much from cheese production. I always go for unsweetened, natural protein & add high quality cocoa powder with a bit of sweetener - like honey, agave sirup or stevia if you want 0 callories. High quality cocoa powder (undutched) has a lot of polyphenols. That being said, you absolutely don't need to eat whey protein. For the joint pain - consider astaxanthin. It is pretty safe even at a very high doses. Yet always better to consult with your physician.

Are there health effects in vegetarians or vegans from not getting enough taurine?

@fairwind8676 5 ай бұрын

Who can say for sure. I'm taking the usual amount omnivores eat to stay on the safe side. From another point of view, veg diet can be low on methionine, which together with cysteine I think is requirement for synth taurine. That's my layman's perspective.
