Fruit and Milk

@peater wabbit  I am doing the same getting back to milk, fresh extracted fruit juices, egg yolks and shrimp mostly. I started eating meat more the past couple of weeks and it seems like it makes me feel heavier. The last few days I started making myself cold brewed coffee with cold raw milk instead of the hot brewed kind. I was feeling like the hot coffee was weighing me down too. This cold brewed way allows me to put a lot more milk in too so I don’t have to eat first thing in the morning. Cold brewed coffee has more caffeine and is also 2/3 less acidic. It is interesting how these little things matter…

“Cold-brewed coffee: Is easier on your stomach. Coffee is very acidic, and drinking too much of it can irritate the stomach and aggravate certain conditions like indigestion, GERD, and irritable bowel syndrome. Cold-brewing coffee creates a cup that’s almost two-thirds less acidic than its hot brewed counterpart.“

Here is my e-mail answer from Ray Peat about energy drinks…

“Coffee is the best energy drink. Anything acidic in cans is risky.” -Ray Peat

“Feeding animals a normal diet with the addition of Coca-Cola, or with a similar amount of sucrose, has been found to let them increase their calorie intake by 50% without increasing their weight gain (Bukowiecki, et al., 1983). Although plain sucrose can alleviate the metabolic suppression of an average diet, the effect of sugars in the diet is much more likely to be healthful in the long run when they are associated with an abundance of minerals, as in milk and fruit, which provide potassium and calcium and other protective nutrients.

Avoiding the starches such as cereals and beans, and using fruits as a major part of the diet helps to minimize the effects of the polyunsaturated fats.“ -Ray Peat

Does anyone here find supermarket milk feels like pure poison to drink? I don’t know what they do to that milk but it feels like  it coats the inside of the stomach and your mouth and it just doesn’t digest properly.

I don’t know if its something they add or if its about homogenised vs unhomogenised. But the milk I get in the small town shop that is organic, even from the SAME BRAND, SAME FARM as the one you find in the supermarket, is like drinking a completely different substance. It’s not even the same thing… How strange.

‘A recent study suggests that eating higher levels of dairy fat is linked with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases.’

‘They found that people with higher blood levels of two types of fatty acids found in dairy (heptadecanoic and pentadecanoic) had the lowest risk of heart and circulatory diseases. Another type of fatty acid found in dairy (Trans-palmitoleic acid), wasn’t linked with reduced risk.’

I know peat liked skim milk… But maybe theres an argument for whole? I like drinking whole. Especially the unhomogenised stuff thats all nice and yellow.
