Charlie said:There is reason to why Ray Peat switches to Mexican Coke when he cannot get ripe fruit. Probably along the same lines of why I do not want to eat unripe fruit because it does not feel right. Oranges are supposed to be sweet, not sour.
As always, to each their own and I am just letting you know what works for me. :)
No but what you're saying is that you can go weeks without potassium, assuming you avoid starch and just replaced OJ by sucrose, and I would have thought that's worse than unripe juice.
Do you know how the freshly squeezed commercial juice make it taste sweet and ripe? They can't store the juice if labelled freshly squeezed, so they must have access to riper oranges, which don't seem otherwise available at wholesalers, though I haven't tested every source so I could be wrong.
