Interesting point there. Do you have a source on this, or is it an observation made from your own experience with gelatin? I ask because Dr Peat has recommended gelatin on many occasions, and he makes a habit of researching all of his foods for potential dangers. Furthermore, I had thought endotoxin was a bacteria that fed upon carbs, not protien. That is why starch in particular can raise endotoxin.
Every person I spoke to basically had the same experience with gelatine- upset stomach, cold sweaty hands, irritability, etc about 30-90min after consumption. As I said, gelatine is mostly made from skin, and there are lots of bacteria on dead skin. Endotoxin is not a bacteria, it is a polysaccharide that is part of the outter membrane of gram negative bacteria, and released when those die.
