“the main thing I dont eat at all anymore is red meat. Too much iron for a peaty diet I think. or organs. But im not convinced about dairy being awful”
Red meat is one of the highest sources of iron in the diet (outside of fortification), but the amount of iron isn’t crazy high. It’s got less iron than chocolate, on a gram for gram or calorie for calorie basis. Much less than oysters, on the same basis. Similar to some dried fruits, like apricots. I would think Ray Peat himself would be a better source for what a “peaty diet” is, and he often spoke mostly favorably about red meat, and did eat red meat himself. It can certainly be incorporated regularly into such a diet.
“I am upset peat didn’t ever really mention medicinal substances in fruits and vegetables… I’ve been eating raw onions recently and they really improve my hearing.”
What are you talking about? He mentioned such things regularly. As an example-
Ray Peat wrote thousands of pages of articles over the years, and gave several hundreds of hours of interviews in the last decade of his life. Even just doing a little bit of searching through his youtube interviews and articles posted on Raypeat.com can bring up his views on any number of health topics.
With the sheer volume of work the man left, it would be folly to assume that he never talked about or wasn’t aware of a particular issue. Some topics might be harder to find than others (again, he left so much), but that’s the benefit of forums like this. If you are having trouble finding his views on something, you can post a thread asking a question, and others can often direct you to the relevant interview or article.
