Some things to note:
1. He advocates shellfish and oysters
2. fluoride free water is important
3. recommends supplements like Vit D, Vit K, Vit B & Progesterone
4. Carb intake ranges from 50-100g
I dont know, a lot of it seems okay. I am a fan of most paleo concepts, except for the whole low carb part.
What do you think guys? Any good refutation for this guy that has obviously not read Peat?Jack Kruse said:Peat has an incomplete understanding because he does not know AI ends at the negative charge of the EZ.......Ling's idea of water polarization means dipoles exists and dipoles are neutral in charge If AI was completely right, and its not it would have a net negative charge. .........experiments have proven Pollack correct. Its great to have an elegant theory but if it doesn't match he data of experiments it is a falsehood. End of report and sorry to the Peat fans.
AA and DHA are PUFA’s that work in magic together in the human brain. They are essential fatty acids that are critical to cell membrane signaling and structure. If you follow the work of biochemists and organic chemists they have told us that PUFA’s are very susceptible to oxidation because of the double bonds they have in their chemical structures. This is true, but it has a big advantage for us as well. PUFA’s store proton information in their spins. These protons are tightly controlled. Inflammation can unleash them. But here is what they did not tell you about PUFA’s in the brain. AA and DHA are critical for the human brain function. These PUFA double bonds are protected by iodine levels in several special ways. In Brain gut 5 we spoke about the special quantum effect of the pi electron clouds of DHA. This is a quantum effect built for protons. Now let us look at the most powerful protector of our DHA stores in all of our cells. Iodine is that protecter of protons. When iodine is bound to AA and DHA it protects them from free oxygen radicals that oxidize them. The second mechanism of protection of these PUFA’s uses iodine and hydrogen peroxide in combination.
All of these questions can be answered by pointing out that he is an incoherent authoritarian.I realize I am necro'ing a very old thread... I want to play devil's advocate a little here, because I like to learn.
But I'm curious, I always like to keep an open mind, so can someone help me understand (his blogs are WAY too detailed for me to figure out the reader's digest version....)
I feel like there is truth to learn from everyone. He obviously gets some things right to have a big following. There are two things in particular I am confused on.
Why does Jack Kruse:
1. Recommend PUFA's? It seems that his claim is that PUFA's can be beneficial "If they're protected" and he does actually acknowledge "PUFA's are bad if they are allowed to oxidise and not be protected". Therefore he isn't necessarily refuting RP per-se. It sounds like he says PUFA are needed for brain health (which isn't the first time I've heard this, that's a popular idea). So, how does one protect them?
edit: Found this tidbit. Answerd my own questions.
TL;DR - Jack Kruse says Iodine protects PUFA's. RP says that Iodine causes PUFA to release anti-thyroid hormone. What gives? Why the difference of opinion?
I also tend to disagree with RP's stance that Iodine is bad, but I don't know if I believe PUFA's are good either.
2. Recommend not drinking water or drinking less of it? From what I can tell, one reason is that alot of water is flouridated. The other, and this is the idea that confused me, is that somehow you can turn body fat into water. Thus, if someone is obese/has weight to lose, they may benefit from drinking less water and "making the water they need" from fat instead. Is there truth to this? Can someone explain his concept to me in layman's terms? Jack Kruse may actually be on the money on this one. How many people have we seen on the RP forums that can not tolerate a liquid diet, especially ones starting off on the diet? Could it be that people who have fat to lose indeed need to adopt a low liquid diet, and those who are leaner can handle more liquids?
3. Hate carbohydrates especially fructose. Can someone explain why he thinks carbs are not good. And what about the fact that converting dietary fat to carbohydrate is a highly stressful process, and that dietary protein lowers blood sugar? Adrenaline (a stress hormone) is used in this process. I have a hard time understanding how stress is ever a good thing especially on a chronic daily basis.
I don't understand it well enough to know how much is backed up. There are a bunch of paper referenced in every blog and if have read a few which seem to align with what he is saying however I think a large part is highly speculative. The circadian rhythm and blue light stuff is very solid IMO. I also belive the fascia communication, bone semiconductors, structured water, IR light, is solid. Deuterium, seasonal eating, and some of the other stuff is probably very speculative.Is all this you talk about accepted or highly speculative? Founded speculation or proven truth?
