Is brain damage associated with consumption of milk containing the banned pesticide heptachlor or the milk sugar galactose?
Parkinson’s disease Is A neurodegenerative brain disorder that affects millions of people. what causes it? ok, if you Look Among the lifestyle factors associated with Parkinson’s disease, dairy consumption is the strongest dietary factor associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. In fact, dairy products are the only food group consistently Joined together With a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s. There are five large prospective studies Confirmed Link. it Involved Two Harvard groups, the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, which combined followed more than 100,000 people for decades in “the largest analysis of diabetes and PD (Parkinson’s disease) to date”, analyzing more than 1,000 newly diagnosed cases. All studies found a link between dairy and Parkinson’s, with most finding a significant link – with about a 50% increased risk overall in those who drank the most milk compared to those who drank the least milk. P-value below 0.00001, which means there is less than a 1 in 100,000 chance that you will get such an extreme finding at random. You can see this in the chart below and in my video at 1:13, Milk may play a role in triggering Parkinson’s disease.
Okay, but why is there a link at all? “Despite the apparent association between milk consumption and the incidence of Parkinson’s, “there is no rational explanation,” concluded A review. However, after a year, we get A clue: “Mid-life milk consumption and substantial substantia nigra neuron density at the time of death.” What does it mean? have parkinson’s Reason Caused primarily by the destruction of a certain type of nerve cells in a significant part of the brain, symptoms first appear when most of these neurons die. So a study looked at how much milk people drink drank Their brains were examined when they were in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and then at autopsy and counted to see how many of the vital neurons were left. In each quadrant, neuron density was highest “in those who drank no milk and lowest in those who drank the most milk.” Even after removing Parkinson’s cases, those who drank two cups (473 mL) of milk a day had up to 40% fewer nerve cells in most quadrants of that important brain region. What is there in milk that can destroy brain cells? Of those who drank the most milk, residues of the pesticide “heptachlor epoxide” were found in the brains of 9 out of 10. So, perhaps the finding of pesticide residues in the brains of people who drink the most milk may explain how milk may be a cause and effect related to Parkinson’s disease risk.
Now, this is not the only possible explanation. In one of my videos, I talked about how meat contains the sticky neurotoxic protein alpha-synuclein. Well, dairy products can be prevent Also find out the quantity, but we don’t have confirmation. Could milk sugar be “galactose’s missing link?” Galactose is what breaks down after the lactose present in milk reaches the body. It is also used to cause aging experimentally – to induce aging in the brain. When you drink it, galactose is taken up by your brain within a few hours, and for doses above 100 mg/kg, it appears that galactose can cause pathological changes in brain cells, as seen in Parkinson’s disease. This amount can be “reached and exceeded” by drinking only two glasses (473 mL) of milk (the main dietary source of galactose) each day. And of all your brain cells, those dopaminergic neurons – the ones you need to maintain to prevent Parkinson’s – may be more vulnerable to galactose-induced damage because they are more sensitive to oxidative stress.
may also contain galactose explain Findings linking milk drinking to higher mortality rates. You might be thinking, “Well, oh-so-saturated butterfat is shortening people’s lives,” but higher mortality rates have been associated with higher milk consumption. saw Regardless of the fat content of milk. Skimmed milk may be fat-free, but it is not lactose-free.
Can’t you drink lactose-free milk like Lactaid? Lactase enzyme is added to it to make lactose-free milk. But it breaks down the lactose into galactose in the carton instead of in your stomach, so you’re still consuming the same amount of galactose. Perhaps it’s no surprise that excess milk consumption may occur in middle age Joined together For higher rates of cognitive decline. Remember, researchers use galactose to increase brain aging in the lab. D-galactose, a metabolic derivative of lactose, has been used extensively in animal models to “mimic cognitive aging” through oxidative stress. Compared with those who said they “almost never” drank milk, those who drank more than a glass (237 mL) a day were more likely to suffer declines in global cognitive function.
doctor’s note
Here’s the meat video I mentioned: Meat may play a role in triggering Parkinson’s disease.
You may remember I’ve explored this before Could lactose explain the link between milk and Parkinson’s disease?. Uric acid may also be a contender—see Parkinson’s disease and the uric acid sweet spot.
