Dr. Jack Kruse: "I am not a food guru. I am an engine guru. I'm a mitochondriac. […] I tell people, 'If you want to be a vegan and be a black swan mitochondriac, it's possible. The only problem is, you have to live within the 20s, 20th north and 20th south latitudes, and you have to do some exceptional things.'"
Dr. Jack Wolfson: "How do those people get their DHA? I test all the vegans that come in and they've got no DHA."
Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well, that's the key. The key is, there's a mechanism in the eye called the Bazan Effect. Dr. Nicolas Bazan, he's a world-famous eye researcher. […] What the Bazan Effect is, is we have two loops in our eye. The first loop, any time sunlight comes in, it disassociates DHA and we recycle it in our eye. The key to that process, it's controlled by the circadian mechanism, so if you're blue light toxic or you happen to live next to a cell tower, you lose that ability.
"What's the back-up system that evolution built into humans? Remember, the central retinal pathways has the highest level DHA of any mammal on this planet in humans, and our brains also the same way. We have a back-up system called the long loop, and the long loop connects the eye to the liver. It turns out that your liver is designed to put that in there. If your eye gets broken, your liver can replenish the situation. A vegan who gets as little DHA as possible is constantly recycling. Assuming that they're living on the equator where there's 12 hours of sunlight in daylight, that effect is no longer present. […]
"I had the realization that India sits on the equator […] That was the key. When I figured this out I was like, 'You know what? These vegetarians have made it for four or five thousand years. They've done really good.'
"But you know what they didn't have? […] They didn't have any fake light. The only fake light that ancient people ever had was full moon, and that's where we get the word lunatic from, luna meaning moon. And when you had the reflected blue right off the moon, even the ancients knew that blue light causes a problem.
"It turns out that vegans can recycle the little DHA that they get. Remember, in humans we do convert about 1–3% of ALA to DHA. It's very, very small. But if you happen to have a perfect circadian mechanism, veganism can work.
"Now, do I think it can work in a 0G to 5G world? Absolutely not, I think it's psychotic. But if you're going to do it, you have to do it in a tropical environment. […]
"I tell people, 'If you're vegan or vegetarian, the move to greatness is just become a pescatarian. Just get something in your system. Now that we know about melanopsin and how it works with leptin, once you fix this Bazan effect in your eye with the short and long loop, you can do extremely well.'"
Dr. Jack Wolfson: "Amazing, amazing, and certainly, me coming out of Chicago, huge Indian population there when I was doing my cardiology training. […] The vegans, they've got some of the worst coronary artery disease you can ever imagine. […] It's obviously a major problem for them."
