Carbohydrate was positively correlated, and fat was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression.
- samstave 4y agoYour brain needs fats. Your muscles need carbs. You need to exercise both. Ill never forget the comment of my grandmother, a life-long surgical nurse to one of the top neurosurgeons in California. - My daughter was opening the fridge and eating handfuls of butter when she was tall enough to do so (abt 3 years old) I called my grandmother and asked her about this She said to me : "let her do it, the brain needs fats to grow" my daughter is smart as heck. She is 18 now and is wicked smart. -- Also we benefit from the Norwegian gut biom... we can handle any lactose. I think that gut biome transfers are actually a new genre of biomedical science... (recall the ulcer guy? he proved that ulcers were a bad bacteria.) I really think that we should pursue gut biome treatments

I've seen arguments in favor of fecal infusions (where they take fecal matter from someone with a healthy gut microbiome to someone with an unhealthy one). It has shown some promise in helping some rather stubborn illnesses. But still, these things take a long time.
