Hi Todd,
Heh, yes Ray is very interesting, I kind of root for him to be right. But as JS says, his stand on fructose is rather hard to support.

Hi Gabriel,
Thanks for summarizing Peat’s ideas, which I am not intimately familiar with. It still sounds like an excessive amount of fructose to me.
But I very much agree with his deprecation of PUFA, so we do have a lot of common ground.

Hi Enrique,
Peat is certainly very interesting. His website doesn’t always link cites to statements closely, and it is hard to tell in what contexts his ideas are valid. I think there’s insight there but it is hard to chase down exactly when his insights are useful.
