Recently, three shootings by Asian elderly males in California (Monterey Park, Oakland, and Half Moon Bay) makes me wonder if these shooters were all Thiamine or Vitamin B1 deficient.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a vitamin required for energy metabolism, including the metabolism of glucose. Thiamine deficiency can caused by a decreased dietary intake, decreased absorption, increased utilization or increased losses. A thiamine deficiency can initially cause vague symptoms, and then subsequently may lead to conditions like Wet and Dry Beriberi, Wernicke’s encephalopathy, and Korsakoff’s syndrome. In this lesson, we discuss the early symptoms of thiamine deficiency, including the signs and symptoms of the Beriberi conditions and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, in the video published on Sep 30, 2021, by JJ Medicine, as “Thiamine (Bit B1) Deficiency Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur)“, below:

In this video we discuss what is Thiamine (Vitamin B1), the functions of thiamine vitamin b1, which foods contain Thiamine, the benefits and daily recommendations of thiamine vitamin b1, and thiamine vitamin b1 deficiency. Transcript Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1 is essential for carbohydrate metabolism. It also plays a role in nerve and muscle function. Because it is available in small amounts from a variety of foods, deficiency is rare. Deficiency usually occurs due to malnutrition. Thiamine can be found in foods such as, beef, pork, fish, eggs, whole grains, kale, oranges, potatoes, nuts, and seeds. Just to name some. Thiamine can be stripped away in processed foods so they are often enriched with thiamine and other vitamins. Cereals and white rice usually fall into this category. The recommended amount of thiamine to be consumed daily is between 1.0 and 1.4 mg. a ½ cup of macadamia nuts (.47mg of Thiamine) and 1 cup green peas (.45mg) and 1 slice of 100% whole grain bread (.14mg) would provide you with 1.06 mg of thiamine. This would meet the amount of thiamine we need on a daily basis. Thiamine is not a vitamin that is difficult to get through normal food consumption. In our vitamin rating scale, Thiamine is a 1, most people do get enough of it in their diet, in the video published on Dec 8, 2015, by Whats Up Dude, as “Thiamine Vitamin B1 Per Day – Foods High In Thiamine Vitamin B1 – Benefits Of Thiamine Vitamin B1“, below:
