Higher Free Thyroxine Levels Predict Increased Incidence of Dementia in Older Men: The ... - 0 views

Nathan Goodyear on 06 Dec 12what a silly study! They look at free T4, the weakest thyroid hormone and found high levels to be associated with dementia. However, they failed to assess free T3, the most biologically active, and reverse T3, inactive. This study was like they intentionally blinded themselves of the body's physiology to study dementia. This is the problem with a lot of research today: they have forgotten their foundation. Many older adults struggle with poor free T4 to free T3 conversion and high reverse T3 conversion. So, without knowing what these clients were doing in these pathways makes their conclusion obsolete.
