They missed the variable that matters = intelligence.
<"We really adjusted for everything under the sun that is related to dementia. We brought in stroke, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease — everything that has been implicated — and yet we still found this effect," said the study's leader, Dr. Rachel Whitmer, gerontological epidemiologist at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Foundation. "That suggests that there's another pathway — it's not just that being overweight raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes and that's why these people get dementia.">
Winn's Theory of Dementia is that if you don't have much cognition to start with, it's going to look remarkably like dementia as soon as the little that was keeping the person on track dwindles. People with high capacity turbo-charged intellects when they are younger can lose a bundle of it when old and still be functioning at a lot higher level than those who lost the little that they had.
Winn's Theory of Obesity is that it's inversely proportional to intelligence and caused by a lack of it. It's a very difficult matter of intellectual performance to have a half-decent diet these days due to disruption of normal human food supplies and replacement by the processed cocktail of nutrient deficient toxins available in supermarkets. People with low cognitive powers don't have a chance. Neither do the smart crowd, but they have a better chance of getting things less wrong.
Rachel is a female gerontological epidemiologist and females don't make the best scientists because they mature too young to be fully programmed with all the tricks of the trade. That must be why she missed the cognition factor. That's a conclusion from Winn's Theory of Female Intellectual Development = female brains are fully grown 3 years younger than male brains and we all know you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Females need to get their education younger and faster. They have a LOT less time to waste.
From age 5 to full brain growth at puberty, females have only 8 years. Males have about 11 years. That's nearly 50% more school time during brain growth. That's a BIG difference.
Fortunately for women, it's not just school that matters and they in fact have from age 0 to 13 while males have 0 to 16 so it's really only 25% more brain development time for males. But that is still a heck of a lot of advantage to the males. At the peak of any performance challenge, a 25% advantage is an absurdly huge advantage.
Normally, even 0.5% advantage is enough to win.
That's why females completely dominate males at school - they cheat by pulling out a bigger, more developed, smarter brain. Males catch up three years later, but they have already given up and accepted that they are male and therefore stupid.
Educationists around the world are bewildered by the poor performance of boys at school. That shows how clueless educationists are. Boys have got little brains and girls have big monster brains and can run rings around the boys.
But only until the tough stuff gets brought on and the girls find they can't figure it out and don't have the neurological networks to cope with the tricky mathematics. The boys are still maturing and if they have the innate talent to manage the process, they can easily plug the new stuff into their still-forming brains. It just bounces off girls brains. The smartest of girls who have learned that they are the super-smart don't give up too easily and take it on and can do a pretty damn good job of it because they are really smart and don't need a lot of pre-programming to do anything. But they are still no match for the superest of the males.
Hence, Winn's Theory of Female Verbal Talent - females are not in the slightest deficient in verbal skills because they get plenty of verbal input in the first 13 years of their lives. Males can catch up, but they have no great advantage even with the extra 3 years of brain development.
Winn's Theory of Female Education is that women who are going to do science and maths and stuff like that should be getting onto the topics at age 7, not age 17. So should boys for that matter.
People can learn to talk when they are 2, so they can learn to do maths, which is just another language describing reality, at age 2 too.
So, load up on the right brain DNA, feed it the right food, give it the right experiences at the right time and watch dementia disappear.
