Personally I skim milk It is also becoming increasingly difficult to eat other animals for me.

Peat purist?
I wouldn't take it that far. I think he's more of what is becoming more popular now, and that is a mix of Peat with something like Weston Price. Call it "Peat-Price," where people like Peat because of "sugar" but also like their whole milk and daily muscle meats.

Yes but there are some things that Peat feels pretty strongly about:

Stuart said:No, they didn't actually. I think that's the point. They certainly may have been eaten or died accidentally before their time though. Life was very difficult, so the optimally healthy ones survived the longest.

Brian said:I couldn't care less what my ancestors in Northern Europe were like in the paleolithic era. I'm living in a completely different environment now. Much warmer and sunnier. I have to adapt just like they did to what food and climate are available and pay attention to how my body responds.
I'm sure if my distant ancestors had access to pregnenolone, supplemental magnesium, dairy, and reliable year round carb sources they would be all over that.
I would expect that my particular paleo Northern ancestors had lower temperature, pulse, and lifespan than I am capable of now.
Stuart said:Just curious what the 'different story' you are referring to is ?
Westside PUFAs said:Exactly.
We're warm-blooded animals who get cold very easily.
Brian said:So it makes me wonder how much chronic stress we put on our body when we subject it to ambient temperatures below 80 degrees for long periods and maybe how much better it would work if it never had to. Maybe air conditioning is actually a health hazard below that point?
Brian said:Later that week it dropped down into the 50's and he looked like he wanted to die, because he was so miserable.
That's the issue for me. If people have no detectable symptoms of an 'underactive' thyroid at a slightly loser basal temp than traditionally used to indicate a 'problem' doesn't that indicate that the traditionally used figure is simply the wrong one to use - or to ever have used.EnoreeG said:In summary, knowing that epigenetics can change things in a few generations, and not having anything like a large sample of "preindustrial" humans, how do we know we should target the current "average" as a healthy temperature?

Isn't that why 98.2 deg F is now considered to be a more appropriate 'normal' temp. And that may have been the case all along? Certainly sold a lot more thyroid meds though.
