visionofstrength said:Hi, st! Welcome! Yes, Peat cites a study of a man who volunteered to live on sucrose syrup and nonfat milk for many months, and much to the surprise of the researchers, his metabolism went up and his health improved. Peat has a number of other studies showing that the longterm benefits of milk and sugar are well-established. The trick seems to be, actually doing it. How to make it practical, given the demands of everyday life.
If you are thinking of the same story as I am, from Peat's article on sugar, I think he ate cottage cheese and some kind of cake made with potato starch, and supplemented at least some vitamins. So not just milk and sugar, and not all liquid, did include some starch. But it was very very low in fat.
