That doesn’t make him wrong though, it just means that was what worked for him with his own unique biography and nutritional history. I honestly cannot even imagine what drinking 50 cups of coffee in a day would be like, 2 makes me feel like crap! But for him, for whatever reason, it worked, and he can then rationalise that experience back through a theoretical lens. The danger is others with an entirely different biography and history see that as a rule then climb aboard the coffee or thyroid or OJ train then wonder why it screws them up.A lot of what ray says makes sense, but at the same time some of his own personal choices make 0 sense from a rational point of view (as in i've never heard of any other human trying doing similar things). such as drinking 50 cups of coffee a day when he was really hypothyroid, eating 8000 calories before thyroid cause he was burning it all off with adrenaline and lactic acid , drinking gallons of milk and OJ as staples. he's definitely way out on the fringe of life, both in his lifestyle and intelligence
What I really like about Ray is although it’s what he’s probably best known for now, nutrition is just one lens through which he explains his values, beliefs, philosophy etc. I re-read this article yesterday, I probably skipped over it in the past as there is only a small bit on nutrition in there, but reading it now it just shows the bigger picture he is seeing and it resonates far more How do you know? Students, patients, and discovery
I’m conscious I’m derailing the OP’s original focus on milk now so apologies!
