I have no doubt that I have a vastly more in depth knowledge of human physiology and endocrinology than anyone I work with thanks to Peat and the vast amounts of reading and researching I do.
What annoys me is when a colleague sees you minding your own business doing your "Ray Peat" type thing (Whatever that might be), in my case eating, often. They choose to criticise and tell you that you are an idiot/going to give yourself a heart attack/diabetes/some other disease and laugh at you when you try to explain in brief why you do what you do.
A colleague earlier today asked people if they wanted a drink and then turned to me and asked "Do you want one of your unhealthy drinks?"
Normally its all in jest but sometimes its not and very disrespectful.
They do't seem to understand that I do actually put a lot of time into learning this stuff. At best they all rely on TV adverts like Flora's "Heart healthy vegetable oil omega 3 rich spread which lowers cholesterol" for their nutritional advice. Their response "I must eat more PUFA and omega 3 because this food company told me it lowers cholesterol and high cholesterol will kill me. SHEEP (Grr)
I'm glad I have you lot to rant too and discuss this stuff with. Otherwise it would be a lonely place with this knowledge I actually feel privileged to have.
Does anyone else have stories of rejection/being labled as crazy by others. I would be interested to hear them.
