“Preventively, avoiding foods containing lactic acid, such as yogurt and sauerkraut, would be helpful, since bacterial lactic acid is much more toxic than the type that we form under stress.“ -Ray Peat
Can't say I've come across that particular quote before, but certainly gives context! So, quality kefir and cottage cheese are good substitutes of non-LA?

Ray Peat said kefir gave him a migraine every time he ate it, and to rinse cottage cheese. Greek yogurt is the only fermented thing I have heard him say a positive thing about, that I can recall at this moment.

So that means cottage cheese has a fair amount of LA? What other dairy do you consume regularly?

Yes cottage cheese does have a fair amount of lactic acid if it is tangy.

I eat some carefully chosen cheeses made with either penicillin, animal rennet and/or grass-fed milk and avoid any, as Ray Peat said, that says “vegetarian”. I drink whole raw milk and make my homemade ice cream with it and an organic condensed milk. I used that same condensed milk in my coffee a couple of days this week when I ran out of milk. I occasionally use a sweeter sour cream and now occasionally this wonderfully decadent Greek yogurt.

I buy the Good Culture brand- either the sour cream or cottage cheese. I like their product ingredients profile, so I'll plan to rinse cottage cheese if I continue to buy it. You mentioned your decadent yogurt, but I don't see the picture- or did you mean you make your own?

Can you share cheese brands and where I might buy? It's been hard to locate artisan cheeses made this way, even in metro areas. Do you have a recipe for your ice cream on another thread, or care to share it here? My problem with making my own, altho I have access to good raw milk, is quantity- I have 5 at home and most machines aren't made for high volume. Or do you not use a machine?

I have tried all three of their cottages, and the lower-fat ones are really tangy, but the full-fat one not so much.

Oh yes- I remember you mentioning Fage earlier, sorry! As to the cheese and ice cream questions, can you help?

I am out of a couple of my other usual cheeses, but here are some I have on hand right now…

Here is my thread with my low-fat, but just as delicious as Haagen Daz, ice cream recipe. I am very popular in my area for my ice cream!

WOW! Why did I never see this before?
What is the brand of your IC machine? How much does a recipe yield? What is the best container to store it in the freezer?
Thank you Rinse!

I put the brand of my maker in that thread, on page one. It makes about a quart of ice creams, using no yolks or cream, and if you use lowfat milk you could make it even lower in fat. I keep the the container in the freezer at all times, and it needs about 17+ hours to chill the container again between batches. It is the easiest thing I make. The key is to chill the can of condensed milk overnight, to insure it freezes up quickly. I have five other major recipes threads as well Kray, and a couple of recipe subtype threads on cancer and survival as well. Have you seen those?
