Agree.I don’t think Ray Peat promoted gluttony but some on the forum promoted eating anything to get metabolism revved up and to get out of under eating. I think many people ended up overweight with still poor metabolism and maybe other problems, too.
When did Ray Peat say it was a good idea to drink coke non stop?I think 'promotes tooth staining, damage, decay' is appropriate also. I have a friend who drinks coke non stop and I noticed the other day his two middle top front teeth are showing signs of going black at the ends.
Agree with the verdict but what do you mean by old stress and new stress?None of them worked like he described because he was addressing old stress, not the new type. But because it was a belief system, and not a pragmatic solution based on the current environment, people just kept trying these things. After a couple years of gorging on "stress lowering" foods and supplements, you looked like a blimp.

old stress was low blood sugar, too much bad quality food like beans and rice, stress working outside and not enough energy to maintain that, lack of nutrients, minerals, and enzyme catalysts like B vitamins.Agree with the verdict but what do you mean by old stress and new stress?

This is an incredibly precise and perceptive bit of writing. I have felt the latter more than i would prefer or care to admit (way, way before I ever discovered Ray, or even 'health' as a concept)the actual context in which people stop being able to deal with "stress". Healthy people without chronic toxicity experience life as an adventure and a challenge (depending on circumstances), not as a problem

Agreed. Very well put. As to whether that issue is caused by vitamin A and/or copper I have nothing to lose by trying the approach. It would not be the first, one of many in fact. Possibly it will be the last, which would be nice.Ray Peat said for a hypothyroid person everything in life becomes problematic. It's probably more apt to replace "hypothyroid" with "toxic", because hypothyroidism is just a symptom, and a consequences of something larger.
