Is Melanin Theory true?

[Matt504]

white folks have been studying melanin in Black people for years, they even have conferences about it. They know things about us that we simply aren't allowed to know about ourselves.

Why are white people's pineal glands far more calcified than Black people's?



aren't we all supposed to be the same under our skin?

biologically Neuromelanin is something that definitely needs to be discussed and researched.

I may be mistaken but I don't think the pineal gland has anything to do with melanin. That is melatonin.

just read a study that shows that melanin pigment is on the pinealocytes so it has some type of relationship with the pineal gland.

Abstract. Masson-Fontana staining confirmed the presence of melanin pigments in the human adult pineal gland. In 1-10 years
age group, the pigments were present within the pinealocytes. In 11-20 years age group also, the pigments were in the pinealocytes only.
In 21-30 year age group, the pigments were in the pinealocytes and appeared in the stroma in the areas of glial fibre predominance. In
31-40 years age group onwards, the pigments were present, in addition to pinealocytes, in the stroma among the fibres. As age
advanced, the amount of extracellular pigments gradually increased, extracellular pigments were more concentrated, and the
extracellular pigments were more clearly seen. There was no gender difference in the amount of melanin pigments. The background
comparative anatomy also is discussed.
Key words : melanocyte, melanin, pinealocytes,

the pinealocytes are the cells that secrete MELATONIN

Neuro Melanin is very important. it is a protective substance in an area in the brain (substantia nigra). It is now known that this substance decreases with the presence of Parkinson's.

People with high concentrations of melanin (black people) have a 50% less chance of getting Parkinson's than whites

what yall think....greater qualities of melanin=superiority

Nah, nikkas don't live as long as cacs anywhere in the world. If skin color meant anything, you'd think nikkas would do better by way of having darker skin, but that's not the case on average so "Melanin Theory" is probably bunk. You need to stop race baiting. I thought you were banned or else quit. You're a lame troll with -2000 neg rep

But blacks have a higher chance of dementia in general, I believe. And while dementia isn't Parkinson's, they are similar. I don't think there's any difference.

why isn't the chance 100% less?

Parkinson's has more to do with movement and coordination as well. This is why I never liked the word evolution. It should be called adaptation since we all have pros & cons to our physical characteristics. This lady at TED talks speaks about how its been underreported to African Americans the risk of not getting enough Vitamin D & how lacking it can lead to mental changes etc. @10:35 This may be your reason for why blacks get dementia at a higher rate.

why isn't the chance 100% less?

don't know, I didn't conduct the research of course

don't know

ok, thanks

more info on this theory

wow mane I been up on chaga and all those good medicinal mushrooms
this is some new wave
good info brehbreh*

 

[010101]

on g I think that's what did pale folks in
when you combine a impoverished diet with a lack of sunlight you start getting paler and paler
add that to the fact that shyt back in the days was tribal so fukkers were inbreeding
boom you get palebones or pinktoes or white people as you call them*
