I'm too poor at the moment to be picky, so I had to fire my chicken-masseuse. The look on his henpecked face was heartbreaking.
I don't think I've ever heard Peat address MTHFR. If nobody else has either, maybe I'll e-mail him to ask about it.
Please post the response you get, he usually has fascinating takes on things. (Rays response not your chicken masseuse.)
I'd definitely say kale is a very good addition to a diet, maybe cooked carrots too, I wonder about yolks and cholesterol, over time I saw z few people report high testosterone while eating 6+ yolks a day.
Normal Plasma Cholesterol in an 88-Year-Old Man Who Eats 25 Eggs a Day — Mechanisms of Adaptation
Fred Kern, Jr., M.D.
"The data obtained were compared with those obtained in a study currently in progress. Eleven volunteers, 10 women and 1 man, ranging in age from 30 to 60 years, were studied similarly while following their usual diet and again after 16 to 18 days during which their diets were supplemented with five eggs a day, representing approximately 2590 μmol (1000 mg) of additional cholesterol. The mean daily dietary cholesterol intake was 567 μmol (219 mg) during the low-cholesterol period and 2995 μmol (1156 mg) during the high-cholesterol period. All the subjects were healthy, except that eight had asymptomatic radiolucent gallstones."
"The mean amount of cholesterol absorbed was 54.6 percent in the subjects on the low-cholesterol diet (300 of the 567 μmol of cholesterol ingested per day) and 46.4 percent on the high-cholesterol diet (1390 of the 2995 μmol in the daily diet) (P<0.001 by paired t-test)."

Effects of dietary cholesterol on the regulation of total body cholesterol in man. - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract
Studies on the interaction of cholesterol absorption, synthesis, and excretion were carried out in eight patients using sterol balance techniques. Absorption of dietary cholesterol was found to increase with intake; up to 1 g of cholesterol was absorbed in patients fed as much as 3 g per day. In most patients, increased absorption of cholesterol evoked two compensatory mechanisms: (a) increased reexcretion of cholesterol (but not of bile acids), and (b) decrease in total body synthesis. However, the amount of suppression in synthesis was extremely variable from one patient to another; one patient had no decrease in synthesis despite a large increment in absorption of dietary cholesterol, and two patients showed a complete suppression of synthesis. In the majority of cases the accumulation of cholesterol in body pools was small because of adequate compensation by reexcretion plus reduced synthesis, but in a few patients large accumulations occurred on high cholesterol diets when absorption exceeded the compensatory mechanisms. These accumulations were not necessarily reflected in plasma cholesterol levels; these increased only slightly or not at all.
This is an interesting aspect to consider, I wonder what could be spared when cholesterol is provided by the diet.
Very interesting thanks for posting these.
