Resolved. Brain: Mostly sugar or mostly fat?

The discussion of advanced medical knowledge now channeled through the Medical Medium Anthony William. This knowledge amounts to perfect Naturopathy. Knowing what causes chronic and other disease, the followers of Linus Pauling extend Naturopathy with human-based nutritional science Pauling called orthomolecular (right molecules) in therapeutic amounts.

Resolved. Brain: Mostly sugar or mostly fat?

Post Number:#1  Post by ofonorow » Tue Sep 17, 2019 1:45 pm

The place for the debate whether our brains are "mostly lipid" or "mostly carbohydrate" as the MM source tells us. (If any parent's children are looking for science projects out there...)

So how might we conduct experiments to help us decide?

We might measure the electrical conductivity of glucose in water and compare with oils, or oils in water. Can electric current pass through lipids, or are they more like insulators?

We might use Archimedes method for determining density of animal brains, like he was able to compute the amount of gold

Taste of brain

We know that proteins consist of amino acids, which all have at least one Nitrogen atom.

But what is the difference between a lipid and a carbohydrate?

From the good physics professor we learn from this video lecture

youtube direct link

That the chemical formula for human fat is

C55H104O6

Carbon dioxide and water. (And as I watch, isn't it interesting that unlike other ordinary FAT cells in the body, which engorge and grow - making you look fat - the brain NEVER grows (attracts) fat into brain cells. Yet we think of the brain as made up of fat - but without fat cells?)

The chemical formula for Glucose is quite similar to vitamin C.

C6H12O6

Hmmm all lipids have 6 oxygen, or so says the professor. Very interesting the so does glucose.

Another question, why doesn't the brain use fat as fuel, like muscle, only glucose? (if its made of fat?)



Added. We learn why you can't spot reduce fat, by exercising stomach muscles, to remove fat from the stomach from Ari Whitten's FOREVER FAT LOSS.. Fat and muscles have separate circulatory systems, and when you start burning fat - it comes off from everywhere, in general, not where the muscles are exercised.

Not only does the brain not become fat, implying NO fat cells, but when we lose weight, the brain doesn't shrink, implying NO fat cells. QED?
