Veganism And Human Brain, Mind and Consciousness

Meer over het boek

The book explores the significant impact of dietary fiber on colonic microflora and its broader implications for human evolution and brain function. A high-fiber diet promotes beneficial changes, enhancing butyrate production and supporting the expression of HERV genes, which play a role in genomic flexibility and the development of the human neocortex. Conversely, a low-fiber diet fosters archaeal growth, leading to reduced synaptic connectivity and a shift towards neanderthal-like brain characteristics. The text emphasizes the importance of fiber in maintaining optimal brain health and cognitive function.
