"A study from the journal Neurology found that older adults who had the highest levels of elaidic acid (a common type of trans fat) in their blood were more likely to develop dementia. Better to stick to olive oil and real butter."
"This can be very dangerous when used in large amounts by people with migraines, a very common headache condition that, together with heavy cannabis use, can lead to stroke, even in young, otherwise healthy people."
"Alcohol is a neurotoxin that can injure both the central and peripheral nervous system, even if consumed in moderate amounts."
Margarine often contains trans fats such as elaidic acid, which are associated with increased dementia risk in older adults; olive oil and real butter are preferable. Some butter alternatives lack trans fats, so ingredient labels should be checked. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) causes short-term cognitive impairment and appears to constrict cerebral arteries; heavy cannabis use combined with migraines can increase stroke risk, even in young people. Beer supplies empty calories with no nutritional value, and alcohol acts as a neurotoxin that can injure both central and peripheral nervous systems, including at moderate consumption levels.
