Go for it.Why is everyone talking about carrot salads? Can't I get the same benefits from just eating a whole carrot as a hand fruit?
Carotene blocks thyroid.Wait, carotene is undesirable? Why?

Carotene blocks thyroid.
Good response!Go for it.
Shredding the Carrot length ways (Top to Btm) Greatly Maximizes the Surface Area of the Fiber that can drag & capture along your intestinal track.
Its like your eating 3 but Without the extra undesirable carotene. Easier to chew also. With a tsp of Olive or Coconut Oil.
Go ahead and shred-up 7-8 in advance. and mix in some Salt & Apple Cider Vinegar. Refrigerate in a Glass container. Then with each serving you can experiment with... I like Fresh Garlic or a capsule of Powder Ginger, both work great.
Get fresh White or Yellow carrots if possible. (Orange i believe has more carotene)
Just shred a couple for now to try it!
edit:
It can be a Very Powerful tool. I dont think theres a pharma drug that could even come close to the Short and Long Range benefits. Esp if you do it for continuous periods of time...Anywhere from 3 to 7 days in a row is great. By then my stash is gone. Start over as needed.
I seem to agree with this idea, I find when chewing the whole raw carrot it would at best be a very marginal difference in surface area if it were to be shredded. But in this case, why not simply blend it into a liquid? It would just be that shredded makes adding vinegar + EVOO easier, since that might be weirder to add to raw whole carrot?Well when you chew the shredded carrot and swollow, it will have the same surface area in your stomach and intestine as chewing the whole carrot and swollowing
Well blending it defeats the purpose of the fibers actually scraping the intestinal walls. I don't think shredding it vs just biting a carrot makes a noticeable difference though.Good response!
Have you found any difference in terms of perceivable benefit when consuming carrot salad away from meals, compared to with meals (before vs during vs after meal)?
Any thoughts on blending the raw carrots into liquid compared to shredding?

Why white/yellow, bud? They're much less tasty.You could pulverize a bunch of carrot but that liberates the carotene, try it once is no big deal, get the white/yellow if possible.
Less Carotene. White are more peppery.Why white/yellow, bud? They're much less tasty.
Look, When Dr.Peat tells me to shred the carrot length wise to increase surface area. I Figure its Highly probable Dr.P is on to somthing thats Worth a Try,Good response!

That's true it's not inherently bad, but in susceptible people it is thyroid suppressive. I don't think a carrot will do it though. A glass of carrot juice, for sure.
@marko9437
Part of the intestinal benefits of the carrot salad is also as a delivery system for coconut oil/olive oil/vinegar/salt which are all antiseptic

what would be better between ACV or regular white vinegar ?
I can't find info that says carotene is thyroid suppressive. I do find that carotene builds up when it can't be converted to vitamin A due to low thyroid function.
White Vinegar is derived from Corn. OG ACV just tastes better in the mix.Regular white vinegar I suppose
