Brain health conditions have become a global health emergency,’ according to the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies last year. Globally, 15 percent of all disability is due to brain and mental health disorders. The lifetime cost of Alzheimer’s in 2022 was estimated to be €1.2 trillion across the EU, exceeding even cancer and heart disease. But most worrying are the trends of falling IQ at a rate of about 7 percent a generation.
On this flight path, by 2080, more than a third of children will be classified as mentally re****ed. That’s the conclusion of Professor Michael Crawford who discovered the essentiality of omega-3 DHA for the brain. Alarmingly, brain size, deduced from cranial capacity of skulls, has shrunk by a staggering 20 percent over a mere 30,000 years. It took over six million years for brain size to increase from that of a chimpanzee (350cc) to a peak of 1,600 to 1,700 cc with Cro Magnon man thirty thousand years ago. Today, brain size averages 1,350cc.
There is no question that we are devolving mentally with an endless escalation of rates of ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, insomnia, schizophrenia, dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as strokes, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
The big question is: why? I’m proposing that there are four main biological drivers of our demise...
1. Brain Fats
2. Methylation
3. Glycation
4. Oxidation
