Ray cautions against proteins and rightly so, but that shouldn't keep one from trying things he cautions against. If I heeded every caution and deprive myself of the intake of some of these substances, I may deprive myself of the benefits they offer. Peanuts as potentially allergenic and anaphylaxic isn't keeping me from enjoying peanuts - only because I know I don't have those reactions.
Ray Peat may also be a person prone to allergies to proteins in plants, and so he is disposed to be cautious about them and to tell people to exercise more caution than I would practice myself.
For example, he cautions coconut milk for its protein content, but I've been eating coconut curry for a long time, and I've been eating grated mature coconut meat to accompany native Filipino desserts, and I haven't experienced any allergy. Then again, my ancestors may have gotten used to it, or I may have become adapted to it by being acculturated to it growing up.
But it could be I came from a time and place where my immune system isn't as much tampered with my vaccines that make a lot of Americans, millenials down, hypersensitive.
how often do you enjoy peanuts and why? I dont personally enjoy peanuts. I like peanut butter, and even that, I like mixed with chocolate, a PB ice cream, pb jelly sandwich etc.
are you saying you didnt use many vaccines so your immune system is tampered with?
also it just seems to be that basically all of the so called allergic substances, still cause some level of inflammation in people who arent allergic to them. milk and eggs are on the list but i think its due to them being fed allergens or grain foods. like peanuts, and soy have phytoestrogens. corn has inflammatory issues... wheat has its issues along with the nuts...
