Thanks Doctor. I have been focusing on flavonoids for a couple years now. I have been eating spinach and kale for much longer because of their nutrient density and became part of my keto limited menu! Furthermore with Covid I started reading info from functional medicine doctors as well as your information and your colleagues. I then started appreciating the flavonoid aspect. My intentional intake of red onions, celery seeds, ginger, turmeric, cruciferous vegetables, Mexican oregano have become a daily routine. I also eat kale daily along with olive oil. I love olive oil and avocado oil. Thanks Doctor, this video as well all the videos you have created esp during Covid have really made my understanding and approach to nutrition more purposeful.
@@hiris1903 Hi all, I hope you are able to join in tonight. To your question, it would be both. considering legume refers to a particular plant family and includes leaves, stems, and pods. Whereas a pulse is the edible seed from a legume plant and pulses will include foods like beans, lentils, and peas.
Absolutely. There may not actually be a study but the observatory results individually among us are very real. We are all smarter for this man’s tireless work.
I use spinach and kale often. To make it easy, I buy the fresh spinach and kale then freeze it uncooked in ziplock bags. I grab a handful or 2 of one or the other or both and add them to soups and sauces. This way I do not have to worry about it spoiling before I use it and I do not have to chop any thing. Once frozen you can just crumble it into your food. 😊
@@vas4739 not really concerned. I drink a lot of water and I use more kale than spinach. Eating calcium containing foods can also help decrease the the risk of oxalate kidney stones.
@@HappyLife-wv5ms that’s what I heard too. Dairy is what I use in the form of cream cheese but that might not be possible for some who have allergies to dairy.
Tea and wine are the primary dietary sources of flavonoids in eastern and western societies, respectively. Besides, leafy vegetables, onions, apples, berries, cherries, soybeans, and citrus fruits are considered an important source of dietary flavonoids (34-36).
What kind of tea? There are lots of teas on the market. Are we talking herbal, green or black teas in particular? I drink all three but it would be nice to know which ones are the best.
Stop using packaged flavors and sauces. Make your own with herbs and spices. They're like natures multivitamins. Super densely packed with phytochemicals, flavonoids and other substances with medicinal properties. They taste great. And you can grow your own with very little space or equipment.
For flavonols oolong milk tea, matcha green tea. For brain fog lion's mane. For altzheimers avoid aluminium i.e. cans, baking trays, moka pots etc. Microplastics from a bottle of coke are preferable to tiny amounts of aluminium from a can.
Coffee contains all four; kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin with smaller amounts of isorhamnetin. Analysis shows higher levels in dark roasted organic coffee. Turns out cumin and especially capers are loaded with kaempferol.
Great lecture. Cognitive disease was very rare 100 years ago but became one of the top disease today. One of the main reason is the people following Standard American Diet that are full of ultra processed food and sugar that were not existed 100 years ago
And the poisoning of city water with flouride, chlorine, aluminum and sulfur and recycling of drugs and chemicals in lake ontario that are not filtered out through the basic water treatment plants. Distillation and reverse osmosis would help greatly. Also weather modification is the poisoning of the air through heavy metals, chemicals and radiation being put into the sky regularilly to block the sun for the freemasons dream of blocking out the sun which helps everything grow and heal.
Good seeing you today. Missed being on a while seeing your great studies. I have heard this also helps ringing in ears. I have had bad ringing. Ive taken before but forget. This is a great reminder. Thanks Dr. Bean for sharing this. Love the use of the kale. I found a great smoothie during recovery of sinus and ear that was Kale, pineapple, little banana and mango that really seemed to help w recovery and inflamation.
But the study left out coffee which said to have the highest levels of flavonoids and antioxidants. And also, cannabinoids such as THC and CBD are said to be the most protective to neurons, are not mentioned. The NIH received a patent on the use of cannabinoids as a neuroprotective in 1998.
"Determination of flavonol glycosides in green tea, oolong tea and black tea by UHPLC compared to HPLC" NIH - PubMed --- " ....kaempferol glycosides are more abundant in green teas, while oolong tea has more quercetin and myricetin glycosides. In black tea quercetin glycosides were most abundant"
Thank you for changing the title... When I first read it I thought that it was about Flavonols CAUSING slow cognitive decline... which did not make sense. And my unsweetened chocolate does not have any sugars....
Excellent summary of results, though I would further question which people in a poor US inner city are eating foods such as kale, beans, spinach, broccoli and also drinking TEA (of all beverages available in the USA) compared to those that are not eating those same foods? Probably the ones that are eating healthier diets are folks that exercise regularly, think about health issues, are somewhat educated on "good" and "bad" foods and watch informative videos like this one, as well as being in a positive financial position to purchase more expensive healthier foods. So I wonder how much is truly due to flavonols alone and how much is due to a general healthier lifestyle indicative of those individuals that also eat flavonols? Of course, either way, one can directly benefit from eating more flavonols, especially as it may lend towards leading a generally healthier lifestyle. Hopefully this message effectively can be shared with poorer demographics so that they can begin to demand better food at reasonable prices. Good for us that we still have educated, informative and beneficial internet content to listen to from the likes of you, Dr Been and others! I have been subscribed for several years and thank you.
Nobody studies the effect of tissue magnesium deficiency. All these foods are high in magnesium. Tissue magnesium deficiency is invisible as the universal test for magnesium deficiency - serum magnesium doesn't measure tissue magnesium
A quick search yielded this: The contents of flavonols on a dry weight base in green tea leaves ranged from 0.83-1.59, 1.79-4.05, and 1.56-3.31 g/kg, and in black tea leaves from 0.24-0.52, 1.04-3.03, and 1.72-2.31 g/kg for myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol, respectively. Matcha is probably the most beneficial because literally consuming huge amounts of tea (compared to brewing). Nb. Death rate from dementia in US is 32.5, Japan 5.5 per 100,000 people (Japanese drink a lot of matcha). But China also drinks a lot of green tea and is worse than US at 34.6.
Problem with these kind of studies is that cause and effect might be reversed. It might be that people with an already higher cognitive ability choose a diet that is more healthy. To put it in other words, it is suggested that Nurture (consuming flavonols) is the cause of better cognitive abilities while is just moght be Nature that makes you choose a more flavonol rich diet. On top of that it says in the study: " In continuous models adjusted for age, sex, education, APOE-ɛ4, late life cognitive activity, physical activity, and smoking, total flavonol intake was associated with slower decline in global cognition..[....]." This adjustment seems to me very difficult to make consistent and usefull. How would you weigh physical activity against tea consumption?
What would be options for a person who is restricted on vitamin K1, such as someone on warfarin? Other question...what is the difference between green apple and red apple in these substances? Other question..what about people who are mostly carnivore eaters, is there any of these substances or cognitive protective substances in there? What is the role of those who are on a "fat adapted" type of diet for brain health ?
@@rosemaryryan6455 Environmental Working Group publishes a list of the 12 most pesticide-polluted fruits and vegetables once yearly. They call it their “Dirty Dozen” list. It’s best to buy organic produce with these. Their “Clean Fifteen” list has 15 other fruits and vegetables that have very low to no pesticide residues. I try and buy all organic on their “Dirty Dozen” list.
I always wonder how Inuits survive without their tomatoes, apples and green tea. Ok, more serious now: may I make the assumption that flavonols are required to protect the average Westener against the effects of their diet loaded with packaged foods, sugars, refined carbs, processed seed oils and "nutrient-empty" ingredients? I miss any reference to the diets these persons followed. As you indicate this is a epidemic study, which is useful to form hypothesis, not to prove them.
I have read about an arctic exploration in the 1800s which was stranded in the high arctic for the winter. Half the group stretched out their scant supply of canned fruits and vegetables mixed with local fish and meat. The other half went full native and ate only fish and meat. The first group all died of malnutrition, the second group all survived (as do the natives).
Dr Been The trigger of migraine in chocolate is cocoa butter. I have a son who gets migraine from chocolate, but not from the cheaper imitation chocolate made without cocoa butter
which tea are we talking about? black tee, green tea, curcuma tee, chamomille tea, there are thousands of teas and i cannot imagine they all have the same ingredients, because they are used for different purposes in medicine
Hi all, I am the lead author of this manuscript. If anyone has any questions, I would be happy to answer them here. Cheers!
Dear Dr. Holland, your presence has increased the ambience of this neighborhood. Will it be possible to have you for an interview?
I was wondering what was meant by "beans" - string beans, or legumes?

Someone should do a study on the cognitive boost we get from watching Dr. Bean
Yes, hahhahaha
So true
Haha that's great!
Definitely!

Are you concerned with oxalates in excess? Spinach is extremely high in oxalates. This is coming up quite a bit lately.
Really should blance before freezing to slow or stop the enzyme action which can cause loss of flavor, color and texture of vegetables. 🙂
@@vas4739 not really concerned. I drink a lot of water and I use more kale than spinach. Eating calcium containing foods can also help decrease the the risk of oxalate kidney stones.

@@HappyLife-wv5ms that’s what I heard too. Dairy is what I use in the form of cream cheese but that might not be possible for some who have allergies to dairy.
Another good thing to add, which are really easy to grow are mustard greens. They are high in kaempferols.
This was a great lecture. Thank you Dr Been for keeping it interesting and easy to understand as always.

Just found out - Green, oolong, and black teas all contain high levels of flavanols.
Flavonoids are part of the family of polyphenol which are known to promote a healthy gut biome which is healthy for our immune system.
There is an easier way, turn the TV off and watch your cognitive ability sky rocket.
Yes!!!!

I’ve been drinking Four Sigmatic Lion’s Mane Elixir in my morning coffee everyday for four years.
very interesting, thank you Dr. Been!

Thank Dr Been !!! Did they mention what kind of tea?
A whole food plant based diet is the key to good health
Fabulous information. Thank You !!!
Excellent lecture. To summarize, eat real food.
What kinds of tea are most beneficial? There are so many varieties ... Fruit teas, leaves, etc.
A quick search yielded this: The contents of flavonols on a dry weight base in green tea leaves ranged from 0.83-1.59, 1.79-4.05, and 1.56-3.31 g/kg, and in black tea leaves from 0.24-0.52, 1.04-3.03, and 1.72-2.31 g/kg for myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol, respectively.

Thank you. Is there a best type of olive oil for these flavanols?
Hi I'm from Portugal were we have wonderful olive oil. Go for the colour green and more acidity. That means it's real olive oil.
Thank you.
Thanks for the information.
Any information on menopausal female issues? I am asking for a friend.
Awesome info
Awesome!!
Are the beans, green beans or are they beans like kidney beans, lupins etc.
Mine is olive oil, tea n spinach n rocket n parsley depending on the season. Kale occasionally as I need to mix it with spinach to swallow it. Haha
Yes Parsley is so good for you and usually it’s for decorating a plate 😊
Spinach is high in oxalates that can cause stones. It is also on the EWG Dirty Dozen list.
I've been eating spinach since I was 3, everyday have mushrooms n parsley or spinach or rocket. So far no stones. What is EWG
Parsley work as powerful diuretic and can reduce bloating and blood pressure. Has vit C , vit B6 , vit K, iron, magnesium and calcium.

How do you 'adjust' for confounding factors??? And individuals surely would be affected differently to others even given the same confounders?
Caution not to overdo Kale and Spinach, they're high in oxalates and can increase muscle and body pain if in excess
Absolutely. When I ate a lot of kale, I got costochondritis. When I stopped eating the kale the pain very quickly went away.
It won't work if everybody keeps eating sugar and starge and processed foods.
