Grant's rapid aging

there is an opinion that the guy, having given up most products, reduced the oxalate load on the kidneys... this is what helped him, and not the reduction in vitamin A

If that's the case then these measures should be successful:

generous P5P backed up by sufficient other B-vitamin cofactors for reduction of endogenous oxalic acid,
speeding up of GI transit (if constipation) by any tolerable means (beans? fibers?) to reduce GI contact time which could exacerbate imflammation and translocation,
clearing the root cause of GI mucosal inflammation / GI barrier disruption which allows for increased exogenous oxalic acid uptake,
adding 100-200mg of Ca or Mg to every meal to bind free oxalic acid in the GI lumen

Well , he eats lots of meat, he even said in one of his latest updates that he would go carnivore if he had to start over. Meat diet will age you quick.
He doesn't eat fruit so he lacks antioxidants and he commented against vit C.
Occasionally eating beans (once a week) is probably ok but they are full of antinutrients. ( comparing him with K Hurd)
Cutting out gluten in the beginning worked good for him, it fixed tight junction and improved skin.... I bet most people would cure their allergy on many foods (eggs..) after a couple weeks of gluten free.
What 's going to happen to Grant if he eats a carrot salad ? I bet - nothing , it would disprove carotene fear nonsense.
Anyway, he is sticking to his prisoner diet until the rest of his life ... Did his brain get rewired that tasty foods don't bring him any pleasure apart from being just some calories ?

@eduardo-crispino said in Grant's rapid aging:

do you think maybe this vitamin A is poison thing is just people coping with weak metabolisms and slow functioning liver

too much meat and beans can weaken metabolism. Slow functioning liver can happen from lack of choline and from being sedentary.

like maybe the normal person just processes and gets rid of retinols that are in excess and thats it
and these guys dont

Staying away from retinol supplements should be enough. Restricting foods because they naturally have carotene or retinoids is silly. Though leacky gut can do a number on some people.

the guy on the left has a huge head, his brain must have lots of processing power

Oh yes, that fella has a big head , no doubts

I dont agree on your first point about any diet making people look sick and emaciated

saladino is the only person I recognize in your list

They are all stars in nutritionism and as they aged they didn't stopped being sellable or marketable. Go figure...

maybe that attitude is why you think Saladino appears aging

Honestly , there is nothing special about Saladino , some people give him a credit for pushing alegedly 'peaty' ideas ..

@alex155 why are you picking on haidut? He has given so much to this community and I am sure he has also experimented with various things for the sake of this community and science. You should really show some respect instead of just bashing people by their looks. Some people are just not photogenic. I am sure in real life haidut would put you to shame.

He's sitting on "muh genetics", a lot of these attitudes line up.

Maybe you could do with a happy meal alex. Move along.

@tubert
reading Haidut's articles is like listening to the recommendations of a dentist - no teeth, an endocrinologist - with hypothyroidism, or a nutritionist - with a weight of 150 kg...

all his recommendations and articles do not work on him.
Ray showed on himself that his diet works on him and he was an example to follow, Haidut is an anti-advertisement of Ray's diet.

at the same time they were making money on Chucky's website, selling supplements at 5 times the cost price

I've gotten some pretty solid intel from a homeless guy outside victoria tube station before.
