Ray Peat is an interesting researcher. His ideas tend to be original (as in he does his own research & analysis). Yet, I find a lot of things in his writings that don't gel with my research or the broader research. Namely, he does his own selective reading and comes up with a theory---just like everyone else. E.g. he doesn't recognize hormesis (benefits from fasting or occasional nutrient deprivation). He also espouses a heavy sugar laden diet such as drinking orange juice on a continuous basis and avoiding fiber and starches. He sometimes paints a very black and white picture: XYZ is good, ABC is bad, ignoring the context or the nonlinear dose response relationship.
Long story short, he's a curious character. I would take his writings with a grain of salt.
