  • Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains - Episode 2591
    Jan 10 2025
    Episode 2591 - On today's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes authors Dr. Anita Tagore and Dave Ellis to discuss their new book 'Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains and How Cows Reverse Climate Change'. Their conversation explores several key topics: brain atrophy in vegans due to B12 deficiency, the dangers of vegan diets for children, the problems with current dietary guidelines, and the misconceptions about cattle's impact on climate change. https://vinnietortorich.com/why-vegans-have-smaller-brains-episode-2591 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin ClubPure Coffee ClubNSNG® FoodsVILLA CAPPELLIEAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains Vinnie introduces the book 'Why Vegans Have Smaller Brains and How Cows Reverse Climate Change.' The third co-author, Allie Morgan, couldn't attend due to illness.The discussion begins with references to Frank Mitloehner from UC Davis and his work and appearance in Beyond Impossible.Dr. Tagore presents research from Oxford University (2008) showing how B12 deficiency leads to brain shrinkage.She explains that while everyone's brain shrinks with age, those with the lowest B12 levels (correlating with meat-free diets) experience the greatest shrinkage. She also discusses cases of severe brain atrophy in babies exclusively breastfed by vegan mothers, noting that this condition is reversible if caught within six months through B12 supplementation. (00:04:57)The discussion turns to how current dietary guidelines promote excessive carbohydrate consumption. Vinnie criticizes the food pyramid, noting it recommends 21 servings of carbohydrates before any animal protein. Additionally, Dave Ellis explains how their book challenges these guidelines and proposes returning to an ancestral diet based on animal foods, meat, fat, and organ meats. (00:07:02) Climate Change and Cattle Farming As a geophysicist, Dave Ellis explains how livestock farming's impact on climate has been misunderstood. He details how well-managed livestock farming helps sequester soil carbon, while arable farming releases carbon through soil disturbance. (00:51:42)He notes that world soils hold approximately 2.5 trillion tons of carbon, making them the largest carbon store after oceans. The discussion challenges common misconceptions about cattle's contribution to climate change.

    Jan 8 2025
    Episode 2590 - On this Wednesday's show, Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer share a talk about GLP-1s and how you don't know what you don't know, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/01/you-dont-know-what-you-dont-know-episode-2590 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin ClubPure Coffee ClubNSNG® FoodsVILLA CAPPELLIEAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast You Don't Know What You Don't Know Vinnie had an idea for a particular gym in his early years in Los Angeles. (2:00)Chris’ goals this year. (10:00)Vinnie has a namesake! (15:00) Recent guest Joseph Raney (episode 2581, “Doing The Right Thing”) and his beautiful wife have a new baby, and he is named after Vinnie. Chris asks Vinnie’s thoughts about the high percentage of people going on GLP-1s. (20:00) Time has shown that several predictions Vinnie has made over the years have been revealed to be on point.He is right about the effects of GLP-1s; the side effects will not be worth it.Muscle wasting, loose stools, constipation, and “bounce back” weight gain once off the drug are just the beginning. (36:00)More serious ones are obstructed bowel and gastroparesis (paralyzed intestines, so food doesn’t pass through).There is muscle wasting, but don't forget, your heart is a muscle, too. When you regularly eat a lot of carbs, you don’t realize how much of your brain fog, aches, pains, etc. are related. It becomes your “normal,” and you don’t know what you don’t know.Anna and Vinnie will be at Bold Fork Books in Washington, DC, on January 15, 2025.
