The book says that our staple food-flour and rice-is the main cause of brain damage, and even some vegetables and fruits we eat are not good things. In the author's research, only fat and cholesterol are the best nutrients for the brain.
The author thinks that the brain is 60% fat except water, and human beings lived by hunting in primitive times. At that time, people's diet was 70% to 80% meat, so human beings should return to the original eating habits. He thinks it is the most scientific.
After the author has studied several cases, (this is just what he said) some people are allergic to gluten in grains, so gluten damages the brain, and fat and cholesterol in meat are the favorite of the brain. Then the author deduces these unconfirmed cases to all mankind, and thinks that gluten in grain leads to diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. ...
The author is a doctor of medicine and claims to be an expert in neurodegenerative diseases. When this book was published, he became an unconfirmed expert on neurodegenerative diseases in the world in order to attract people's attention. However, a few years ago, this person expressed a completely different view that meat and fat are the original killers of human diseases. Thanks to Fang, he dug the hole.
Author, you may have changed your point of view in recent years, so you should apologize to the readers and overthrow your past point of view, so as to promote your current point of view. This is the minimum morality. However, the author concealed his views published in the past and directly introduced this completely opposite and frightening view.
Of course, this view is good news for fat people who like to eat meat. Finally, there are so-called world authoritative doctors to support their hobbies. You can eat meat more indulgently in the future. Because the author doesn't even suggest how much meat to eat in the book, so that readers feel that the more the better. But meat eaters should remember that the author only cares about your brain nutrition, not your shortened life span.
His diet is very simple. He eats meat in the morning, at noon and at night. Is to cultivate a meat eater.
You're welcome to say that many people are like walking dead today. They have no thoughts of their own, and all their actions are subject to the so-called authority. Just like those swindlers who listen to health lectures every day, but actually fool the elderly and sell various health care products, the means are the same, but there will always be people who fall for it.
As long as people use their own thinking, they will not immediately believe in the deception of the "five-grain brain". The book says that it is scientific to return to the primitive diet. As a doctor, don't you understand that primitive people had no bread to eat? They ate their last meal and didn't have the next. They can only eat by hunting and picking wild fruits. It is good that their average life expectancy can exceed 20 years. If you give him delicious bread and pasta, won't they eat it? This common sense will make you laugh if you think about it a little. The author's deception is naive and ridiculous, but what is even more ridiculous is that some people really believe it, because others are authorities.
The science that meat and cholesterol are brain nutrients has not been completely proved, but there are countless bloody evidences about the harm of excessive intake of meat fat and cholesterol to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Why does the author avoid talking about this? You just said it was the nourishment of the brain. Don't you have only one brain, but no body, and you don't care about the internal organs and blood vessels of the body? We all know that the more you use your brain, the more useful it is, not the more you eat meat. How many people in this world make smart people by eating meat every day? It is shocking that such an idiotic remark should come from an American expert.
Cereals cause diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease is nonsense. In the 1950s and 1980s, in China, because the living standard of the whole country was not high, people could not eat meat several times a year, and they were mainly vegetarian with cereals, vegetables and fruits. At that time, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and various cancers were less than one-fifth of what they are now, which is documented by historical medical evidence. Now that the conditions are good, everyone can eat a lot of meat. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancers have mushroomed in boundless bamboo forests. This is an undeniable fact.
Lincoln, Tolstoy, Leonardo da Vinci, and countless modern celebrities are vegetarians. Even if US President Barack Obama eats whole grains, vegetables and fruits, he still makes brilliant achievements. Dare you say that they are all idiots?
These are all common sense, as long as you think about it a little, you will know how wrong the author's point of view is, but why don't many people think about it and accept it completely, including some so-called elites in the workplace? In fact, it is because the other party is the so-called authority.
An authoritative point of view is just a point of view, which is a tool to help us think, and we can never accept it completely, otherwise it will become a walking corpse. It is this characteristic of many people that they don't like to think, but only like to listen to authoritative opinions, which has caused many irreparable tragedies in the world.
Books are tools for spreading knowledge and ideas. In modern times, many books are tools for brainwashing and making money. If a person does not have his own independent thinking, he will eventually degenerate into a plaything that some so-called authoritative people fool you about money, time, health and even life.
