Ray Peat

[Wagner83]

Is anybody here interested in Ray Peat's articles and research on foods and general health?

An example: raypeat.com/articles/articles/glucose-sucrose-diabetes.shtml

There's a forum too : raypeatforum.com/community/forums/

I recently stumbled across this and now find that I am more confused. Many of the forum members appear to be zealots and there is an obsession with priming the thyroid with sugar.

That's the problem with people trying to make dogmas out of the research, hypothesis and experience of a single individual. Ray Peat himself is far from a guru and encourages people to do their own research and take matters in their own hands from what I have seen. What I would like to know is whether eating lots of fruits is dangerous or not. He does not think so and fruits are packed with nutrients so that's an interesting aspect of his diet. On the other hand dairy gives me acne , backne and possible increases dandruff (not the only one), so I'm not going to eat it. Avoiding PUFAs is suggested by many others.
