Mushrooms cut dementia risk by ~75%, eliminate need for vegetables. The highest levels of ergothioneine, only found in mushrooms, dropped the risk of Alzhiemer's / non-Alzheimer's dementias. Even if there was a low vegetable intake, it didn't matter as long as ergothioneine is

@Outdoctrination I eat between 300-500g of white button mushrooms a day. This is by far the best way I have found to eliminate gut issues. You will empty your bowels in a healthy way and your stomach will feel flat. Some people describe a euphoric feeling from getting a complete emptying of the

@youinview yes, mushrooms are awesome for the gut as well!

@Outdoctrination Wild mushrooms are many times better

@napoleon21st better than what

@Outdoctrination Is it possible the white button mushroom extract would have similar effects?

@McCarthy_JT depends if it has ergothioneine

@Outdoctrination What’s the optimal mushroom type and serving size to hit protective ergothioneine levels regularly?

@Outdoctrination Which mushrooms?

@Outdoctrination 75% is huge 👀 curious if all mushrooms have similar ergothioneine levels, or only certain types?

@Outdoctrination Do they have to be cooked, or can you get the same benefits from eating them raw?

@Lea17602210 i would not eat them raw lol

@Outdoctrination what if already with dementia/Alzheimer's?

@followfrederick still can be helpful

@Outdoctrination You sure though?

@Outdoctrination Mushrooms are an underrated superfood! Also some decent evidence suggesting an anti-cancer role.

@Outdoctrination Ergothioneine is found in specific mushrooms like oyster or shiitake. There's isn't that much in whitecaps, button or portabello

@Outdoctrination Good thing I like different mushrooms as companions to my MEDS: Meat Eggs Dairy Seafood

@Outdoctrination @DrFerdowsi Interesting. @grok comment on mushroom consumption reduces dementia risk and other benefits.

@Outdoctrination Mushrooms are amazing but depends a lot where they've been growing! You should always only go with checked and certified products! Real mushrooms do not deliver what you need, you need products here, medical mushroom products of highest quality!

@Outdoctrination What was Paul Stamets saying about Portobello mushrooms ? How do you know which are safe if the data is hidden?

@Outdoctrination Do you have the paper?

@Outdoctrination mushrooms eliminate the need for vegetables oversimplifies nutrition and lacks sufficient evidence.

@Outdoctrination @grok WHICH MUSHROOMS HAVE ERGOTHIONEINE
