i don't think so... i'm 43. i started vegetarianism in 2007 and stopped in 2016, but i rarely eat red meat, just chicken, turkey, and fish now. so, i could probably count on one hand the amount of times i've eaten red meat in the past 18 years. meanwhile, i don't even remember what i ate for dinner last night. i talk to my friends and they tell me that i repeat the same things that i've already told them. i don't remember much about my past anymore, it's like i don't even have one. i'm not mad, because my life was shit, and i wouldn't be surprised if my brain developed some kind of trauma-induced memory loss to cope, but it's just fucking weird to be like this in my early 40s. my grandparents had dementia but not until 90+ i smoked a lot of weed in my 20s and have been binge-drinking once a week over the past several years, so i'm not sure if it's any of that. oh, and i take a statin and an allergy pill (montelukast) and i'm pretty sure both of these are known to cause problems with the brain and memory. could be a combination of things i guess. i don't think red meat is to blame, though. it's probably something like microplastics or 5g that's fucking up our brains. anybody else suffering from memory issues or is it just me?
