Alzheimer's Disease: A New Theory of Cause and Prevention

Dr Robert Peers, an Australian family doctor, has a new theory on the cause and prevention of Alzheimer's Disease. His evidence points at refined vegetable oils (soy, sunflower. canola etc), which are low in vitamin E and oxidise the brain. He urges people to use only olive oil or cold-pressed oils to avoid Alzheimer's disease.

I hate to break everyone's hearts but although he presents some good arguments, the "oils" theory has really nothing to do with Alzheimer's. His arguments are based on observation and self report with absolutely no scientific experimentation to provide evidence to his theory.

@atrios28 Refined vegetable oils whether from suspect plants Canola (Low-Erutic-Acid-Rapeseed subsidized by Canada; hence it's name), Cottonseed (highest levels of pesticide residues) & Corn (it's naturally small fat content only became economically viable thru petrochemical solvent extraction) to Sunflower, Walnut, Sesame, Olive & so on are analogous to bleached bromated degermed flours. Foodless foods. Proposing to add Vitamin E back is simply the Wonder-Bread solution recycled.

Thank you Dr. Peers. Overall an excellent summation. Deserves a better concluding statement than "we need to render these oils safe." When in fact human rendering & processing of natural foods over one century dovetails the explosion in hundreds of novel forms of disease. How counter intuitive to Western thinking for anyone to propose as a solution that we undo rather than do more... cont'd...

If you believe this to be the case, find a way to test the hypothesis and try to falsify it. I think it's interesting, but, of course, I'm no expert.

Thank you so much for you shared input. Your video is very clear and helpful.

Thank you very much Dr. Peers.

May your life and practice prosper.

How much vitamin E supplement would you recommend, or should it all come from food?

At last a Doctor who knows what he is talking about! I hope this is just the first of many videos from him.......
