Strong support for triage theory comes from our analyses of published data on proteins dependent on vitamin K (3) and on selenium (4). Both of these V/M have built into metabolism a triage-like trade-off between short-term survival and long-term health; each uses a different mechanism to accomplish this end.

What if we are consistently attributing poor health to the wrong things? Focusing too much on fats and carbohydrates, all the while, important cellular processes in our body are hampered by micronutrient deficiency. For someone who’s interested in nutrition, I’ve spent a heck of a lot of time obsessing over protein, carbohydrate and fat. And very l...
Micronutrients come under 2 categories; essential and non-essential. Essential micronutrients are elements or compounds that our bodies can’tconstruct from other ingredients (our body is generally very good at synthesising the things it needs). They are used for processes such as energy production, cell repair and enzyme activation (to name just a ...
^ Macro vs micro nutrients illustration – source Macronutrients are widely talked about. They consist of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Essentially they are the energy and building blocks for our bodies’ metabolism. But we can’t run our bodies on macronutrients alone. There’s a range of 40 micronutrients that are essential. They can be categoriz...
We’re generally all familiar with examples of extreme micronutrient deficiency. For example, the story of early sailors who needed to pack limes onto their boats in order to avoid getting scurvy. They only realized the necessity of vitamin C when attempting to subsist for long periods of time on basic foods like potatoes, and then would get sick. B...
Generally speaking, we all want to live as long and as healthy a life as possible. If we accept what Triage theory posits, then we can help live longer and healthier by avoidingmicronutrient deficiencies. Thus giving our bodies the optimum chance to prosper.
In this section I’m going to do the amazing, but perhaps mind numbingly dense thing of presenting tables of the different micronutrients. If you’ve time and energy, this can be used to compare your diet and vitamin supplements against the list (!). Or perhaps bookmark it and later refer back. Without identifying the essential micronutrients, we hav...
If we go back to the year 1900, we knew a bit about minerals, but almost nothing about vitamins. It took us until 1912, when Casimir Funk, found the first vitamin (niacin). As the 1900s progressed, we gradually unravelled a list of 40 essential micronutrients. Going forward there are a number of things we can anticipate happening: 1. We identify mo...
Despite the fact that the information mentioned above has been out in the public domain for some time, its clear that it hasn’t been absorbed by our collective consciousness just yet. This is evidenced by a few things: 1. Extremely popular multivitamin supplements that don’t cover even close to the full range of essential micronutrients. 2. Hospita...
This whole theory is quite a lot to swallow. Because if its true, it suggests we can make huge strides towards better health (as a population) with some relatively simple steps. I say “simple”, because a lot of health innovation is predicated upon advanced biological breakthroughs (think gene sequencing, editing and programming). Whereas for this w...
Hopefully the above has been helpful in terms of better understanding Bruce Ames’ Triage Theory. Big thanks to the work of Dr Bruce Ames, Joyce McCannand the rest of their team at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI). The original research on triage theory was posted in 2006. Then, 12 years later in 2018, Bruce Ames published a pa...

Dr. Bruce Ames is devoted to identifying strategies that combat degenerative disease and reverse aging processes. Best known for his groundbreaking research on mitochondria, the UC Berkeley professor emeritus discusses his innovative Triage Theory of Aging. Scientifically reviewed by Dr. Gary Gonzalez, MD, in August 2023. Written by: Philip Smith.
Triage Theory: When the body is deficient in vitamins and minerals, it uses these vitamins/minerals for short term survival while giving up on long term health. According to Dr Ames, the reason that all of these micronutrient deficiencies cause all sorts of cancer is because of the Triage Theory. He explains that natural selection prioritizes ...
Feb 10, 2010 · Professor Ames’ theory that modest micronutrient inadequacy is behind the rise in chronic diseases is gaining support with a new analysis (the first of a series), co-authored by Dr Ames and Dr Joyce McCann. The article is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, October 2009, and is entitled: ‘ Vitamin K, an example of ...
In 2010 Professor Ames presented his Triage Theory of Aging in a presentation titled A Diet for Health and Longevity: Micronutrients, and in 2011 he presented an update titled: Prevention of Age Associated Disease by Optimizing Micronutrient Intake: Triage Theory. In a room set up with 300 seats, about 350 physicians attended the presentation ...
