I cannot drink grass-fed whole pasteurized milk, mostly because of the taste, texture and heaviness of it. I drink raw, because it feels so light and tastes refreshing. If I did have to drink pasteurized it would have to be low-fat or skim milk. I am now skimming the cream off the top of my raw milk and using it in my coffee, so my raw milk is low in fat now!
But but but... Best Foods mayo's primary ingredient is PUFA, yes? The HORROR!!!“Soybean oil festival”, that’s funny! None of that even sounds good, lite mayonnaise?! If I am going to eat mayonnaise it is gonna be Best Foods on a bowl of steamed and buttered Brussels sprouts, or I would make a batch of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (the buttermilk recipe one) and put it on cold iceberg lettuce and top it with crushed saltines, my own creation by the way, so good! I don’t partake though because I like my FLAT STOMACH
I try raw milk again... maybe I got a bad brand. I get low fat if I buy Sprouts Organic milk, but enjoy Zeal Creamery whole milk, regular and chocolate... I don't drink as much as a lot of Peaters do... I drink a lot of Silk coconut milk and a fair amount of OJ... I found lime flavored seltzer is great too... I am tempted to put in a shot of good white tequila sometimes too... WHY NOT?!!?!?
Raw milk is alive with enzymes, pasturizing kills them, and then the decaying process begins. It is with the extra for raw if you are lucky to be able to get it. As for the tequila, why not?!!?!I try raw milk again... maybe I got a bad brand. I get low fat if I buy Sprouts Organic milk, but enjoy Zeal Creamery whole milk, regular and chocolate...

I thought I read Peat or Dinkov said pasteurized milk was fine, if grass-fed... either way, I'll try it again...Raw milk is alive with enzymes, pasturizing kills them, and then the decaying process begins.

Pasteurized is fine, I think raw is superior though, just from my experience and from what I have read. My son won’t drink regular milk either, because he has drank raw for so many years. Like me he thinks it tastes weird too.
I don’t supplement anything. I do have a couple of popular threads on weight loss. My weight doesn’t fluctuate anymore. I linked them below for you.
I save so much money not buying supplements this past 2+ years!
I would go for the low heat pasteurized grass-fed one before I would drink grain-fed milk.I can only get local raw milk. It is not organic and who knows what they feed the cows, but I live in Phoenix, so it isn't grass. I buy the Strauss cuz it is pastured, organic and not homogenized, but it is lower heat pasturized. Any thoughts on what would be the best option between the two?
Thank you, I will look them all over... and yes, stopping almost all supps is a good idea...Pasteurized is fine, I think raw is superior though, just from my experience and from what I have read.

Slippery Slope SUPPLEMENTS
"When a person uses a drug, there is generally an awareness that the benefit has to be weighed against the side effects. But if something is treated as a “nutrient,” especially an “essential nutrient,” there is an implication that it won't produce undesirable side effects." -Ray Peat I have...raypeatforum.com

I do not think that vitamin D or K2 is essential. Egg yolks, liver, broccoli, boiled greens would do the trick. I do like nettle leaf for blood clotting when I need it. I don’t take a daily aspirin either because my blood is already thin being an “O” blood type. What is a “DVT”? Here is a couple of things, below,on vitamin D I posted in my supplements thread recently….

Sounds great and I like Gouda...@TucsonJJ
“Gouda cheese has various health benefits as it contains various nutrients. For example, Gouda cheese has calcium that helps maintain and build good bone and teeth health. Calcium also helps in lowering cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and blood pressure. In addition, Gouda cheese helps prevent blood clots due to the presence of vitamin K. It also contains high-quality protein and amino acids in reasonable amounts, which are responsible for the structure and function of tissues and organs.”

Gouda is one of the world's most well-known types of cheese. But how healthy are they? Find out more in this article.
I can't disagree with any of this, in a general sense. A common and simple approach to all we do would seem to be best: nutrients from food, healthy fats relative to our activity and metabolism, limited stress, and proper sleep. Good habits and discipline. The challenge is when things get out of balance, how does one counter that? As this form can attest, it's not easy at all. For many have to deal with prolonged and unavoidable stresses in life, which inevitably takes a toll. That's when supplementation would seem to be legitimate, along with all the good habits mentioned.
You're lucky. I've tried, I can't deal with potatoes. Sometimes I can't resist and I'll just eat them, but then I have trouble to deal with.
I've just read about a supplement, rutin, for this very thing. There is some talk on the forum about it, but not a lot. I stumbled upon it looking for vitamin c supplements and I saw that some have it added, along with bioflavonoids. Though, some reviewers have noted palpitations, and allergic reactions. Someone on this forum has noted Peat warned of allergies from it. But, others on this forum have claimed success with it. Knowing me, I'd have trouble with it.
I don’t understand why when someone thinks they are lacking a vitamin why they don’t look up which foods are high in those vitamins and eat more of them for awhile. The thing about vitamins is that they need a natural balance of others to be able to use them properly. It is like the body being thirsty and you give it a big drink of water and then after it is quenched you keep making it drink more and more and more, when it is not thirsty. If I were to supplement, I would at the very least do it every other day or twice a week or something like that, like Ray Peat suggesting 3-ounces of liver a week for copper, or shrimp once a week for zinc. Most people feel good taking a supplement and think that that is going to be the case repeating it every day, and then when they don’t feel so good they search for a mysterious answer as to what the problem might be. I read a study the other day that too much vitamin D made the subjects bones more brittle than they would otherwise be taking none at all. Too much is just as bad as too little. People just need to choose their foods wiser, with color to them, and let their bodies do what they were designed to do with it.

It's hard to interpret the benefits, based on that quote: it notes both "gain weight" and "keep you from overeating". Is that a benefit?
It says it keeps you from overeating because vitamin C supplements slows your metabolism.
