Ray Peat And Univerisity

[Crazycoco]

Just a question: is Ray peat isolated in the academic world?

I dont talk about the followers and peatarian here. I mean, are there researchers (academic ones) that found his theories sufficiently convincing to agree with him?

You should try to post in the right forum and not in the ask for help forum!

I haven't heard of many academics supporting Ray Peat, but peating isn't that known as compared to things like paleo and low carb.

In my uni, I have seen quite some academics that support some of Peat's ideas. Some time ago a professor in my uni gave a lecture about the protective effects of vitamin E on the oxidation of PUFAs in the cell membrane - however the link to nutrition and health wasn't mentioned.

I feel like very bright researchers aren't really going into nutrition science, as compared to other fields. Also, the academic world is quite influenced by government and industry. If a researcher wants to do research on the harmful effects of PUFAs, he probably won't get too much funding for it.
