"Processed food makes you stupid...so stop eating meat."
The biggest drop in IQ comes from consuming journalists headlines
So the study isn't about red meat, and the headline is intentionally wrong, and is just clickbait.
Which is horribly par for the course as far as journalism is concerned.
The study is, the article's author is just retarded, as expected.
Only the processed meat mentions an outcome for dementia. For "Subjective Cognitive Decline" (self-reported, lol) there was an impact in both groups. However, you'll notice that they quadrupled the test amount to try to get similar risk numbers for SCD across processed and unprocessed. And they didn't measure cognitive ability, they just had them self-report. What would be funny is if red meat made you feel stupid because your cognition is unchanged but you're now aware of a higher potential. Average vegan feels big brained operating at 7/10. Average normal person feels dumb operating at 7/50.
Those portion size group cutoffs reek of fiddling definitions until they could generate a result from random noise. They're not doing anything relative like comparing 10/90th percentile processed meat eaters. And even for the "high" processed meat eaters they're considering people who are still eating very little processed meat, so there's lots of room for minor biases from imperfectly measuring and controlling for the effect of other causative factors to significantly skew the results.
That's been going on for decades. Rush Limbaugh delighted in pointing out on his show when the New York Times did it. The paper never issued any corrections, of course.
Holy shit, that's brazen.
What if we eat the journalists?
Hmmm, on the one hand cannibalism is generally bad for brain health.
But on the other hand, and to paraphrase the based manga of the month, I just can't see journalists as people.
I remain open to the possibility it might help.
Hear, hear.
Stop eating meat! Instead, eat our delicious, highly-processed "Beyond Meat"! It's vegan, therefore it's good for you!
"No credible studies have found a link between processed soy protein product and cognitive decline."
"Have you actually done a study on that?"
"No."
This one might have gone so far as to stop her own mental processes.
Kinda burying the lede aren't they?
"Eating huge amounts of salted and processed pork, the other white meat, clogs arteries, and leads to all the well-known health problems that clogged arteries lead to, a new study suggests" would have been a much more accurate headline.
Literally le happy merchant. Meme magic is real.
Actually thanks to cooking, especially cooking meat, we through evolution got SMARTER as our bodies didn't need to focus resources on processing raw meat and vegetation and could put it to cognitive processes.
Now if this is about processed meat, the question there is HOW it is processed. If there are certain additives in the food process that are detrimental to cognitive functions.
I looked her up, hoping to find her shilling for processed food elsewhere. No luck, and I don't care enough to dig deeper, but some of her other headlines were pretty funny. She's a feminist journalist who writes on, among other things, "bioethics." Never trust an "ethicist." She's fucking evil:
Archive sites weren't working, but you can find each article here if you're curious.
I appreciate the sacrifice of brain-cells you made for the cause, but I fear my courage in this regard is lacking...
They sound Canadian.
Bro, that's so over the line!
You can't just call someone Canadian.
What a cohencidence that this NIH study just happens to align with the goals of the WEF. I somehow doubt that the "elites" will give up their red meat after the plebs have been forced to eat bugs even with this "study".
From what I can tell, they are making sure all the good stuff will still be there, for them.
Were quickly getting to the point even basic shit like butter and olive oil is something the rich are only going to be able to afford.
Eating almost exclusively animal meat and organs puts you into a state of ketosis, drastically decreasing insulin release, and greatly reducing your risk of dementia and especially Alzheimer's disease (called "Type 3 Diabetes" in many places outside of The United States of Weimerica).
Other benefits: drastically decreases inflammation in the entire body (including the brain), drastically reduces excess body fat, improves sleep, improves sexual performance, improves cognition, improves oral hygiene, improves vascular health, decreases risk of heart attack and stroke, drastically improves digestion for many/most with conditions like IBS and Chron's, decreases inflammation-related pain, etc.
Seed oils cause inflammation in the brain and demonstrably contribute to brain disease. Full stop.
The cure is to eat more wild-caught seafood. Especially salmon, shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, and any other seafood rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
You're not worried about mercury? What's wrong with farm-raised salmon?
It has significantly less omega-3s than wild-caught. I think it's primarily because of how they're "fed" by the farms, but I honestly don't recall 100% if that was it.
And no I don't worry about mercury, because I don't eat fish every day. Actually sometimes I don't eat seafood for a whole week or two, then maybe just two or three times the next week. Also, seafood is almost always my side item, I rarely eat large portions.
What is it with the anti meat propaganda. Humans have been eating it forever. My grandparents grew up on farms and at a lot of meat
I know part of it is climate hysteria. Part of it is they consider it to be part of toxic masculinity. A lot of American culture includes red meat, hot dogs and hamburgers.
I get trying to eat healthier but yea I think the climate cultists are behind this agenda
It’s an attack on masculinity. Climate change is a proxy. They pull the same shit promoting LGBTQ - the real target is traditional culture and nationalism.
Remember the largest farmland owner in America is Bill Gates. That dude wants you to eat printed meat stuffs.
Oh yea. Forgot about that
I cant speak for this article. But lol.
You cant compare a small farm to these mega corporations who treat livestock like they are some kinda of manufacturer.
Googling this seems to suggest its false. Common sense would tell me that it prolly has some truth to it.

Might explain why so many men have man boobs.
Another thing to, I keep having this thought about the irony in "gay pride".
Many gay people think tey are gay because its a personal choice(and for some of them im sure it is), id say a good majority of them have no idea its prolly the chemicals they are being exposed to everyday long before they were even out of the womb.
Focus on keeping this toxic waste out of our waterways and food and reducing the profit for the corporations.
Nah, lets focus on gay pride and paint rainbow flags on everything instead.
Thatll FIX IT.
Are you sure it's not parasites? A large proportion of them also seem to have scat fetishes.
Well yea you do have to wonder about processed foods no doubt. My grandparents had meat that their parents or the butcher in town made fresh. I definitely think there is a whole lot of truth to what you said. Makes sense
I wouldn't be surprised if the actual culprit was the seed oil being used in the cooking of said meat.
I still do not understand people who try to min-max their food as if its going to have obscenely noticeable effects.
anyone who doesn't want you eating meat is the enemy.
