from ray peat's artice on learned helplessness :
"
Acetylcholine is the "neurotransmitter" of cholinergic nerves, including the parasympathetic system.
Cholinesterase (or acetylcholinesterase) is an enzyme that destroys acetylcholine, limiting the action of the cholinergic nerves.
Attaching a phosphate group to the cholinesterase enzyme inactivates it, prolonging and intensifying the action of cholinergic stimulation."
as far as i grasped from the article when cholinesterase is low due to stress , iron , pufa , nitric oxide and phosphate the cholinergic nerves are overstimulated resulting in Cognitive impairment and neurodegenerativediseases such as dementia , alzheimer and parkinson.
If we look at foods with the lowest phosphate content we find rice , vegetables , fruits , potatoes and more , all foods that ray peat suggests but also indispensabile foods in chinese and japanese cuisine .
Studies also seem to prove my theory as chinese people have lower alzheimer(and dementia) rates as compared to western society ( 1% vs 5% in europe ) .
So is it possible that this dieting approach could not only have neuroprotective effects but also help boost cognitive ability and thus iq ?
