Thoughts on sugar gaining traction
-
@Tarzan17 The point of Peating is to increase energy and structure, and obviously making it a mass phenomenon is an essential part of that. Especially if the practice is simple and actually works (i.e., is a true statement about the world), it can and should be transmitted.
Obviously this brings with it grifters. But that is just a part of living in the world. Nothing is Completely Pure. I welcome the popularization in spite of them.
The desire to have differentiation and special knowledge is understandable. When the knowledge you've acquired through somewhat higher effort becomes common knowledge it is no longer as interesting. But it would be unmetabolic to just keep one's differentiation as one thing forever and always. Satisfy the desire by discovering and practicing correct ideas with regards to more aspects of life.

On the contrary this is nothing short of a revolution. There is a fundamental wrongness in the health and nutrition field and the work of Ray Peat and by extension the sugar diet will literally change the world. People are obese and sick at a rate that probably wasnt even thought possible 50 years ago and the only way to reverse the course is to rewrite the established dogma. Sugar heals, fat kills. Its very simple and when people figure out the key to actually fixing their metabolism and losing fat for good without restricting and fads, it will change everything.
Literally there is nothing more powerful then when someone truly regains their health. Imagine that on a grand scale.

@Zachs Yep, fat kills for sure..........Have you seen the 'Oiling of America, How the vegetable oil industry demonized saturated fat?
Me personally only use Ghee, Butter, Coconut oil and olive oil in tiny amounts, and only when frying

I found it odd how none of you seemed to find it odd that pufa became a campaign ticket in a heartbeat. This world is moving around you. Welcome to earth.

@ThinPicking But that's just the thing. Contrary to the belief of the solipsistic hiterlites, correct programs win. Everything else is a temporary aberration or setback: in high-dimensional spaces, local minima are rare.
So if one actually believes that Peat made a correct statement about biology (rather than some kind of gnostic program for the Special Ascension of a few Underemployed people), it barely matters that there are detractors.
Of course one has to fight nonetheless. But the wind is in one's sails.

@Tarzan17 even the most surface level examination of this feeling would show how insecure it is to be threatened / intimidated by public accessing things to raise their health which would make life better for all
theres no need for nuance
eat sucrose foods only to lose weight
go back to low fat high carb normal protein diet as normal
if binging on fatty mixed meals just do a day or two of sucrose only after then go back to the low fat diet
avoid seed oilswa la

That's part of "God wins" to me.
But there may or may not be a lot of money and prestige invested in engineering or reengineering these setbacks. Ignoring soapboxers and talking it through seems to keep the pace. And I'm definitely not wondering why.

Watch out for subversive streams within this new trend.
Sugar and carb demonization was one of the biggest and most damaging health trends / psyops in the last decades. If it really gets crushed, it would be a huge win for public health, but I am yet to become optimistic.
Just look at the case of high PUFA seed oils: They are still being used in pretty much every restaurant and most processed foods. It was being framed as a right wring conspiracy theory and it seems like the progress against the PUFA oils has now been stalled.Also, if you understood Ray's work, you are still light years ahead of people like durian rider and cole robinson.

@Atman cole robinson and durian rider are lean and muscular relative to their desires (cole for previously weights and now cardio and calisthenics and etc, durian for cycling) thoughbeitever
