Smoking, Metals in the Brain and the Vitamin K2 Solution

Mitolife Radio

In this solo show I break down what Alzheimer's disease is, why so many studies show that tobacco smokers have higher risk for Alzheimer's, how the vitamin K shot given to infants differs from vitamin K supplements, and the specific and multiple mechanisms of how vitamin K2 works to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. I talk about the relationship between cadmium, lead, and Alzheimer's disease.

I spend quite a bit of time talking about the difference between nicotine supplements and smoking tobacco, and why smoking may not be as bad as everyone says if other things are done to mitigate the harmful products of combustion. I name a unique terpene found in high amounts in tobacco that acts as a precursor to Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K2 and it also has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-tumor and antimicrobial properties.

This episode is very detailed and technical. Get supercharged.
