If you're strictly following Bredesen and want to gain weight, the only options are to eat more nuts, avocados, olives, etc. Whole foods plant based fats.

So I agree that different people handle carbs differently, but I personally believe E3 is a response to higher carbs in the diet of early man. Other apes have E4.

Sorry, I'm just so confused. This topic seems to have been beaten to death but I still don't know what is even reasonable. There are so many constraints that it's hard to believe this is actually healthy. There are too many constraints. I suggest not following them. I was in your shoes when I found...

I am RS1801131 = GT and RS1801133 = AG I don't know how to interpret these results. Starfish77 E4/E4 rs1801133 is C677T, according to SNPedia: https://www.snpedia.com/ind...

I am new to the website, just having found out about my 4/4 status a few weeks ago. I am trying to figure out my new diet/food regimen, so any insights or personal experience would help. I'm in a similar situation as you - not wanting to lose weight, similar height, weight, BMI. I found out a few m...

Found out recently that I am Apoe4/4 - am not too distressed, as - I am just going to continue to research and do the best possible things for it. My question to the group, is anyone who is 4/4 - seemingly immune to colds and flu's etc? At 45 I can maybe count on one hand how many colds I have had,...

Iron and copper are problems when they are consumed with lots of saturated fats: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/alzheimers-disease-copper-and-saturated-fat/ They cited some good sources.
