I think glucose oxidation does drop. I'm not sure exactly how much, but I've heard Peat say in several interviews that the higher fat content in whole milk slows metabolism, which (in addition to excess calories) is why he recommends 1%.Does glucose oxidation drop on a diet with 30-40% of calories from SFA?
Needing a pharmaceutical to maintain glucose oxidation just seems depressing to me.
I don't like the idea of relying on Pyrucet either, and I felt just fine on a gallon of milk per day even without it, but I don't think it's hurting to use it in the short term, at least until I can find a way to get lower fat goat milk without additives. Milk has plenty of anti-inflammatory things in it anyway, whole or not, and its calcium:phosphate ratio is good, so I think drinking lots of milk would be worthwhile, even whole milk, as long as the body seem to tolerate it well.
