CHAPTER

The Impact of Choline and Carnitine on Health

The chapter explores how choline and carnitine in foods like red meat, eggs, and fish can lead to the formation of the harmful compound TMAO in the gut bacteria, affecting our health by linking to atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, and more. It highlights how plant-based diets result in lower TMAO levels compared to omnivorous diets, discussing the implications for artery health and various diseases. The conversation also touches on the comparison between animal-based keto diets and plant-based diets, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet and the benefits of including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
