The Peatian types are those who have been searching and trying things, sometimes for decades (but not always, this group also has a lot of really bright young people), learning what they can and gleaning whatever insight they can get out of what little has been offered in the mainstream.
Those who don't care, who haven't really sought the truth, are not able to understand Peat. You can send them to his website, e-mail endless numbers of supporting blog posts, interviews, and info, and none of it will register. They aren't totally ignorant, nor are we rarified. They don't understand because they don't want to. They don't have the ability to. If they wanted to understand, they would find a way to. Ignorance is a choice.
Some people don't need to do a Peat diet at least in the short term. Most people I know have no obvious healthy issues (no hypo symptoms) and look healthy. No matter what junk they eat, they have more energy, don't have any issues with sleep, digestion or skin. They are basically healthier than me, and their thyroid is probably better, yet I do a strict Peat diet taking thyroid and other supps. So I don't blame them really for not caring so much about a science based diet. They just don't need it as much as I do, at least for now.
"It is clearly time to move beyond viewing each vitamin in isolation. The fat-soluble vitamins not only synergize with each other, but cooperate with many other nutrients and metabolic factors such as magnesium, zinc, fat, carbohydrate, carbon dioxide and thyroid hormone.
This paradigm has two important implications. At the level of scientific research, a study about one vitamin can easily come to false conclusions unless it takes into account its interactions with all the others. We should reverently and humbly bow before the complexity of these interactions, realizing how little we know and recognizing that we are always learning..." - Chris Masterjohn
Jenn said:Protein digestion is dependent on the levels of HCL in the stomach of the individual and the levels of pepsinogen.
Rayser said:Does that mean the amount of stomach acid can be influenced by anything other than thyroid function?

You go buy the food from the list then start counting grams of this and that, and note whatever happens next. You get in a groove, feel totally amazing (at least until the weather changes), but start gaining weight like crazy, and eventually have to go to the mall to buy a new wardrobe.

It sound real smart to me, gretchen.
Only I can wear my old wardrobe again. I have lost the Peat-pounds after a year.
At the beginning I overdid the fats.
