@alpine-raspberry yeah but have it be like a random one for dickpills or whatever. I don't want this to become some place to sell 30$ salt or Progest-E copies that ignore the existing patent

@nrthcanyon you can run but you can't hide

@Sugar You 'believe'? Then quote him on it, otherwise don't mention it. Can we have some basic level of respect for the man?

@GreekDemiGod honestly i think there's been a whole lot of open-minded discussion on the matter already. In that other place it was one of the biggest threads. Quoting Peat as saying it can be toxic is misleading in the least, as he advocated eating liver frequently. This matter of Vitamin A, and D, toxicity is mainly an outgroup signal for people to differentiate themselves from 'Orthodox Peaters'. Vitamin A is required for thyroid synthesis. The toxicity occurs in huge doses, and most people severely lack it. just through an analysis of historical diets we know this has to be the case, not even bringing in the factors that lower it It's very silly to have this issue come up everywhere again and again, as if anyone's eating polar bear livers of huge amounts of beef liver a day. If anything I struggle to eat it a lot, and when I do I instantly feel a lot its benefits. Supplementing a synthetic version of it is a different matter, but again that is not the same as your stance where it seems like you don't advocate having any amount of it even from diet.

This is not a call to shut down discussions on the topic, but it would be smart if we think about the presentation of issues like this. Most people here I don't think 'need to have a conversation about Vitamin A toxicity' as much as they 'need to have a conversation about PUFA benefits'. I think/hope we all know nothing exists in isolation, and that some nutrients are quite complex in terms of their relation with hormones and other nutrients.

I hope right now it doesn't have any by design. It takes away from the spirit of the forum, and you could see on the other one That Shall Not Be Named it led to some issues
