I don’t think he actually thinks it’s always a toxin. My impression from reading his ebooks (twice) is that he thinks it can easily become a toxin much more so than commonly recognized but that the body is good at managing it up to that point. He even admitted recently in a post I quoted earlier in this thread that he could end up being wrong (although he is doubtful). He does say he is trying to prove it isn’t an essential nutrient with his N1 experiment.
Believe me "tropical climate" can be VERY bad for the metabolism. High temperatures with high humidity is absolutely very bad for metabolism. Dry, semi high altitude (1500 m) is much better.
Oh boy, Kruse??
Yeah he will admit he could be wrong, but Garrett has taken it a step further than he has and feels completely convinced it isn't essential.
Then why is that study not recognized? Even Chris Masterjohn believes in EFA's. Garrett has said DHA should fit into the receptors for vitamin A better actually (or something like that, but he doesn't advise taking fish oils).
This is not a matter of comforming people to the norm, at least it hasn't been for me. There's is nothing sophisticated in a therapeutic approach to an essential nutrient that involves its depletion, it should be out of question unless it's an emergency because it will eventually lead to problems.
I think there's a big marketing thing to all this also, not strictly Garrett. One has to "differentiate" from others in order to sell a different product. People get bored of the same repeated mantras. It is a kind of addictive behaviour.
Haha that's good confirmation! I can't even imagine going back to full on PUFA fest, I tolerate some junk food every once in a while, but if I do it everyday it's crazy how much worse my digestion gets. Fish doesn't seem all that bad though, could you have been reacting to histamine?
This is like everything. If you are used to Paleo you eat some grains which youbtolerated well before and... bam, problems. The body adapts. That is not a sign what you are eating is intrinsically bad. Unless of course by PUFA fest you mean papa johns pizza and half a kilo of deep friend KFC nuggets.
My crystal ball told me that they're tempted to produce a movie about it.
I have no idea but I am sure they will torture the pubmed studies to find a way to prove it. Something like waterboarding pdfs until they say what you want to hear.
We do not need much vitamin K1 a day. The body aggressively recycles it because it is too damn important to wait on the human eating it. My vitamin K at least K1 is super low everyday. I have zero bruising or bleeding issues. I get plenty of K2 though.
He has read some of Peat’s work.
That must be the main reason why conclusions are found in abstracts.
But people tend to respond well to vit K supplements, so if more wasn't beneficial, this would not occur.
I wouldn't use butter as a sole vitamin K2 source. Beef chuck has a similar amount per 100g. I eat grass-fed beef, some cheese, and about 1 TBS butter a day. Natto is an excellent choice is you like it!
