Frying creates compounds that trigger inflammation for 48 hours or more, far longer than smoking causes. The speaker argues this chronic inflammation damages brain function and makes fried food worse for you than cigarettes.
Chapters
When you order your dinner tonight, if it says fried on the menu, it's not food. And when you read Superhuman. And yes, I'm telling you straight up, buy the book. It won't change my life if you do. I wrote this thing with thousands of hours to change your life. But if you read that I talk about advanced glycation, end products and these other things that are forming. Fry your food. It's a simple thing to do. But if you want your brain to work for a long period of time, this will cause inflammation for days, at least 48 hours. Smoking a cigarette is going to give you four to eight hours of inflammation. So seriously, skip the fries and smoke a cigarette. You'll be better off.
