Re: Question for Charlie at Ray Peat Forum on his insults against Milk and Fructose (Honey)
I just found this from 2019 on the rpf...
Charlie:
Correct, dairy being the worst. Not only does it leave an acid ash, it also causes a ton of mucus which plugs up the lymphatic system. Double whammy.
Sugar from fruits are the best, hands down.
Please show me where the body uses protein. It cannot use protein. It has to break it down into amino acids and this process leaves an acid ash which wrecks havoc on the body when not removed. Why not get the amino acids from fruit and veggies? :ss2
My estrogen is the lowest it ever has been and regeneration has skyrocketed. I do not need a study to show me that...
edit: If any animal protein is needed I do not think it is the high amounts being suggested, if at all. I can only report what I am finding, and what I am finding is pretty incredible. There are others in the background thriving off fruit now. Some has chosen to keep some protein, others not. What I am seeing, is the more fruit added to the diet, the better off.

He just had it out for a dietary suggestion that wasn't working for him. And, ironically uses the same zealot argumentation and extremism with no regard for measure or reflection. "regeneration has skyrocketed. I do not need a study to show me that..."
Dairy digestive issues are actually not that profound in the RP community -- Danny, Jay, and Mike, have said many a time that dairy can be the last thing one gets to digesting correctly - not an indictment of dairy, but of low bile acid, slow transit time, and deep bacterial infections that don't go away with a 2 week course of antibiotics... my dairy consumption was bad, now it's not.
I actually want to bring this up because I think my observation of dairy digestive issues was way to underrated on the forum, as everyone was hopping on the anti-VA fad.
Basically, I believe the high levels of methionine in milk, can be problematic when one is severely hypo. Here's my post on it in RPF a few years ago:
