James IV said:The real flaw is evaluating your health based on random numbers established as "healthy" perameters.
Ray Peat said:The drug industry has been lowering the numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose that are considered to be the upper limit of normal, increasing the number of customers for their prescription drugs. Recently, publications have been claiming that the upper limit of the normal range of heart rates should be lower than 100 beats per minute; this would encourage doctors to prescribe more drugs to slow hearts, but the way the evidence is being presented, invoking the discredited "wear and tear" theory of aging, could have many unexpected harmful consequences. It would reinforce existing misconceptions about heart functions.

I assume that you are referring to the text below. Please note that Peat is discussing the use of insuline:Steffi said:post 99562 Further I was quite taken aback finding out that babies born to moms with untreated gestational diabetes (what Ray kind of describes as positive cause it supposedly makes the babies smarter) is also making them likely to develop diabetes later in life!
Ray Peat said:I have known adults and children who were diagnosed as diabetic, and given insulin (and indoctrinated with the idea that they had a terminal degenerative disease) on the strength of a single test showing excessive glucose. When I taught at the naturopathic medical school in Portland, I tried to make it clear that "diabetes" (a term referring to excessive urination) is a function, and that a high level of glucose in the blood or urine is also a function, and that the use of insulin should require a
greater diagnostic justification than the use of aspirin for a headache does, because insulin use itself constitutes a serious health problem. (And we seldom hear the idea that "diabetes" might have a positive side [Robinson and Johnston], for example that it reduces the symptoms of asthma [Vianna and Garcialeme], which get worse when insulin is given. Normal pregnancy can be considered "diabetic" by some definitions based on blood sugar. I got interested in this when I talked to a healthy "diabetic" woman who had a two year old child whose IQ must have been over 200, judging by his spontaneous precocious hobbies. Old gynecologists told me that it was common knowledge that "diabetic" women had intellectually precocious children.)
Diabetes, scleroderma, oils and hormones
In order to accept that this Swedish examination paper you linked proves Peat wrong one has to agree that blood lipids alone are a legit marker of health. The paper does not state what values are optimal. Does that mean the lower the better? I beg to differ.Steffi said:post 99816 The scientific papers that strongly oppose what I understood that Ray and the community here recommend is what I wanted to point out. And I tried to link some interesting stuff for anyone. I wish I had found that kind of "critique" against Ray's theory.
You put the word in quotation marks. Any doubts about "perfect" being optimal?Steffi said:post 99605 And before I started eating implementing Ray's philosophy I had "perfect" blood lipid levels despite being clinically hypo!
Palmitic acid in coconut oil (9 %), in olive oil (11.5 %)?Steffi said:post 99562 Palmitic acid causes insulin resistance:
..........
And causes diabetes even further by killing insulin making ß-cells of the pancreas (Maedler, 2001).
Oleic Acid seems to be the one king of FAs that is really only good (it can even reverse damage caused by palmitic acid):
So you truly believe that eating some fish for example sardine has a same negative effect as ingesting sunflower oil for example? It doesn't make any sense to me..Such_Saturation said:Seriously that's what fish oil does

You disagree with statements Peat has made, except that he has not made them. It would help if you could quote Peat where you feel that "he fails to put [something] into relation" and discuss these quotes.Steffi said:post 100254 Reading Ray's papers I can't help, though, but feel, him opposing mainstream seems to become a mission in itself sometimes. So far as to going overboard and ignoring and negating a possible truth just because it was obtained in conservative ways.
What I really dislike is when Ray praises facts as positive that may be positive in the very special circumstance he is talking about, but he fails to put that into relation and admit that it is "normally not good".
