Meat = impaired mental functions
Arachidonic acid and large molecules in meat weaken the frontal lobe function of the brain. Nedley noted that arachidonic acid interferes with the manufacture and storage of acetylcholine, the important neurotransmitter extensively involved with frontal lobe functions. A study in Life Science (1996) titled “Effects of dietary phosphatidylcholine on memory in memory-deficient mice with low brain acetylcholine concentration†by T. Moriyama, K. Uezu et al. showed that a decrease in brain acetylcholine is associated with impaired mental functioning.
A single serving of meat can also increase production of a particular stress hormone called 17-hydroxycorticosteroid (17 HCS), Russian scientists have found out.
A liberal supply of fruits, vegetables and grains provides the best nourishment for the frontal lobe, as they contain a healthy quantity of carbohydrates. Every type of meat is devoid of carbohydrates. Nedley said that if one looks at the food tables, one would see a recurring theme—whether it be red meat, fish or chicken—they all score zero, or close to it, in the carbohydrate category.
