Makes you wonder how many mysteries are just waiting for our understanding to expand. So sad we have such controversy over nutrition when much seems driven by profits not health. Even medical literature is misleading, delving into experiment methodology and even the final analysis, — often the raw data is never released for public scrutiny even though funded through tax payer channels.
“The reality is more complex than the philosophy of the drug industry imagines, but the solutions of problems can be much simpler, if we think in terms of energetic support, rather than the over-concretized interventions of the pharmacologists. In hypothyroidism, it is common for there to be an excess of adrenalin/noradrenalin, serotonin, histamine, and some of the pituitary hormones. Correcting thyroid function can immediately correct many problems, but especially when the energy deficiency has caused anatomical adjustments (redistribution of blood vessels and mast cells, for example) it’s important to make the environment supportive in as many ways as possible.“ -Ray Peat
“In experiments with rodents, it has been found that drinking a large amount of water increases their prolactin, but the same amount of water, with added salt, doesn’t.”
-Ray Peat“The reason I talk more about biology than politics is that the various radical movements generally have inflexibilities that keep them apart. People need to start understanding that the system is systematically murdering them, and understanding that the situation is desperate, they need to see that solidarity with life, against capital, is their hope.” – Raymond Peat, PhD (2018)
“Get in the habit of really paying attention to what’s happening in your body as you do different things. People have learned to follow authority and not to pay enough attention to how their body is momentarily responding to what they do and experience.” – Dr. Ray Peat

Wow this is a strong statement about his professional peers.
“Counting calories achieves approximately the same thing as measuring oxygen consumption, and is something that will allow people to evaluate the various thyroid tests they may be given by their doctor. Although food intake and metabolic rate vary from day to day, an approximate calorie count for several days can often make it clear that a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is mistaken. If a person is eating only about 1800 calories per day, and has a steady and normal body weight, any “hyperthyroidism” is strictly metaphysical, or as they say, “clinical.” -Ray Peat
