“I have this memory in my brain of coming back to um coming back from school when I was a kid and making like the biggest, thickest peanut butter and jelly sandwich I'd ever made in my life. It was like an inch of peanut butter on bread and uh my mom must not have seen me do this cuz she would have just jumped in and said, "You can't eat that much peanut butter." And I'm sure it was Skippy or Jif full of hydrogenated oils, you know, 30 years ago.”
“And these are fatty acids that are so long and they're actually saturated, but they're so long that your cell membrane, think of it as this thick, they don't fit. So, they go in sideways and they're overrepresented in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.”
