29. Guess I'll just have to get demented

Sat Dec 27, 2014, 01:50 AM

Dec 2014

This has every current dietary fad listed, a couple of which would kill me fairly quickly.

Programs like this one tend to pin my bullshit meter, a very good one. None of the dietary stuff will actually harm you, so you might as well do it if you want to.

Just realize that genetics trump most environmental factors, including diet. These dietary recommendations are benign, they just won't do much of anything.

I'm not sure the blanket approval of HRT for women is any saner than blanket approval of dosing men with testosterone. Both have been linked to early heart disease and other disease processes. The better idea is to listen to Mother Nature on this one. Forgetfulness and mood swings in menopausal women have been linked to sleep deprivation, something that can be treated without HRT and should be.

Other than the hormones for women, this isn't bad advice. It's just unlikely to protect you from senile dementia of various kinds if that's programmed into your genes.
