    Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

    An interesting article that explains that there is a thiamine deficiency throughout the food chain- to include humans. It was once though that B-1 deficiency in humans was caused by over consumption of alcohol (which is true), but in 1995 a scientist discovered that B-1 deficiency has affected the entire food chain not do to human actively, but natural processes.

    Ominous B1 Deficiency Found Throughout Food Chain

    STORY AT-A-GLANCE

    • Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is used by nearly all your cells, metabolizing the carbohydrates and lipids in the foods you eat, helping to convert food into energy and boosting the flow of electrolytes in and out of your nerves and muscles
    • Thiamine is important for healthy immune function, and may actually be crucial to protect against infectious respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19
    • While thiamine deficiency is often the result of alcohol misuse, chronic infections, poor nutrition and/or malabsorption, recent research suggests vitamin B1 has dramatically declined throughout the food chain in recent years
    • The transfer of thiamine up the food chain may be blocked by a number of factors, including the overabundance of thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys thiamine. Thiaminase is naturally present in certain microorganisms, plants and fish that have adapted to use it to their advantage
    • Thiamine deficiency has been identified in dozens of animal species and is now suspected of driving declines in wildlife populations across the northern hemisphere. This means our diets are likely to be low in thiamine, thereby raising the risk for thiamine deficiency in the human population

    Simple things like better nutrition would save far more lives than the bullsh*t being pushed by liberals.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    Based on this article, how would you know if your food sources are B1 deficient? Or would you just have to assume it was by symptoms.

    You could look for the symptoms. Scientists can do blood tests. At least for lakes and rivers we could add B-1 to the water.
