A lot of people here seem to be thriving on combining fruit and meat together. I'm curious if anyone has ever seen any evidence that combining meat and fruit (or fruit juice) together in one meal is problematic? (Besides, obviously, not combining Vitamin C rich fruit with Iron rich meats, as per Peat.)
I ask this because Ayurvedic physicians, going back hundreds of years, specifically stated that meat and fruit shouldn't be eaten together, that fruit should be eaten alone. (They also said dairy should mostly be eaten alone, though exceptions were made for very sweet fruits like dates.)
I see a lot of wisdom in the Ayurvedic tradition, with many parallels to Ray Peat's own theories, so I'm curious is anyone has run into problems with fruit / meat combo, or if there is any scientific evidence suggesting this combo is a hazard to health.
Thanks!
