Ray Peat

In their own words

1. 1.Georgi Dinkov: I looked at studies on people hospitalized with COVID-19, vaccinated or not, and every single one had a high anion gap—basically various stages of lactic acidosis. Isn't that basic? Most of these people are dying from metabolic acidosis, namely low carbon dioxide and high lactic acid. Ray Peat: Yeah, there are studies showing you can turn off lactic acidosis just by giving some carbon dioxide. It goes right to the source and turns off lactate production.

2. 2.# Caffeine Caffeine increases your metabolic rate, so it's important to take it with food, including enough sugar. Coffee and cocoa are very good magnesium sources. Cocoa contains both bromocriptine and caffeine, bromocriptine seems to be more stimulating to the heart than to the brain. ## Do you think it is safe to use caffeine tablet of 600 mg or more to treat fatty liver? That would be too much caffeine at once, unless it's with a big meal to slow its absorption.

3. 3.# PUFA PUFA The main way they [PUFA] are detoxified is by attaching glucuronic acid, making them water soluble, so they leave in the urine. Keeping the free fatty acids low in relation to albumin, they will largely be carried bound to the albumin to the liver. They [polyunsaturated fats] are more water soluble, so are easier to release [from adipose tissue]. The fat cells themselves preferentially oxidize saturated fatty acids, so the stores tend to become more unsaturated with age.
