The vitamin C content of cow's milk I'm getting at least 150mg per day, I also had a discussion with Ray about vitamin c in various foods that claim to have none, but actually have a good amount.That's a low amount of vitamin c, given its role in cardiovascular health it may be worth looking into.
Got it. You know what, I will definitely give it a try. I have experimented with so many thinks, I don’t see why I shouldn’t try upping my intake of skim milk. I’ll do it and report back, I hope you don’t mind if o have some questions along the way. Oh, and last question: do you do the raw carrot?No discomfort!

No carrot, what I shared earlier is exactly and entirely what I consume.Got it. You know what, I will definitely give it a try.

How did you figure that out?I have a deficiency in Aldolase B
Liver biopsyHow did you figure that out?
@tca300 , I’ve been experimenting with a diet similar to yours for about a week now and I wanted to quickly check-in here to let you know I couldn’t be happier with the results! I am feeling warmer, less bloated, more energetic and sleeping better. It’s still early and I am not using any supplements, I wanted to check the effects of the diet in isolation first. I plan to go like this for 3 more weeks before I start introducing the fat solubles.No discomfort! No bloating, and like I said Im running very hot, 99°F+, no cold hands, feet, nose, etc. My poops have never been better, no constipation. Your welcome!
If you are still not eating carrot, do you eat any other kind of fiber, or some other antibiotic thing, to keep endotoxin low? Do you happen to know Ray's opinion on the healthfulness of avoiding soluble and insoluble fiber (primarily with regard to to gut bacteria) when eating a primarily milk based diet like yours? Thank you.No carrot, what I shared earlier is exactly and entirely what I consume.
I think it may have to do, also, with how much you are consuming. I was using coconut oil like a food. Now, I am not consuming any oils as a supplement, but only for cooking, such as butter and coconut oil, but stopped eating several tablespoons of coconut oil/day. And,' large' amounts of coconut oil may in fact cause an upset in digestion and gut permeability. I may drizzle some extra virgin olive oil or truffle oil on my food, or bake cookies, etc. with some macadamia nut oil, but not much of it, plus I take a good dose of vitamin E to offset the PUFAs. I am in the second week, and can already see my gut calming down a bit, so I think I may stay this course. Peat may call them 'heavy' in PUFA, which any PUFA is too much for him, but olive and macadamia oils only have a 'small' percentage of PUFA, 10% for olive and 3% for macadamia. Plus, their high level of oleic acid is a good thing, since oleic acid is showing anti-aging in current science.Olive oil is heavy pufa though. Ray said using a little of it like a tablespoon for flavoring is okay, but not to think of it as healthy.
I have quit coconut oil but haven't seen benefits. My husband seemed to be allergic to it. We quit it about 2 years ago. In retrospect, I don't think it was the CO that bothered him. We use butter and a little olive oil at times.
Well, I haven't thought a lot about it lately. We have CO by the stove but only use it occasionally. Still using butter and sometimes a little olive oil. I didn't notice that Ray got less enthusiastic about CO but, except for his newsletters, I didn't always keep up with him during his last couple of years as far as any new thoughts he might have had.@tca300 @Birdie or anyone else, any update, or thoughts on the topic? It seems that Ray at the end turned away a bit from coconut oil
Ray Peat has said that MCT oil can create new allergies.Dietary medium-chain triglycerides promote oral allergic sensitization and orally induced anaphylaxis to peanut protein in mice
This study used partially hydrogenated coconut oil I believe.
If other forum members like @Travis @haidut or anybody else that has time, and or are interested, I would like to hear what you guys think of this study. After about 7 years of daily Coconut oil, hydrogenated coconut oil and pure MCT consumption ( not all 3 everyday, but typically one of the mentioned daily ) I have just recently been going into a certain anaphylaxis when I consume Oranges, fresh, whole, juiced myself or store bought juices.
It seems far fetched to really think that the medium chain triglycerides could cause this, but I'm all ears to anybody who has thoughts! Thank you!
I apologize if this has already been brought up before.
Thanks for the feedback.Well, I haven't thought a lot about it lately. We have CO by the stove but only use it occasionally. Still using butter and sometimes a little olive oil.
