Oddbean new post about login | logout the reason for raw eggs and blue steaks by the way is cooking the food removes a lot of the nutrients. it also tastes better, i don’t know how to explain it you just gotta try it
It also removes some of the things that can make you really sick lol
nah that’s a fiat take brother
And cooking allows for easier digestion and probably results in better nutrition as a result, even if the food does lose some when cooked. This is the leading thought behind our smaller digestive systems, different teeth/jaws, larger brain sizes, and even our social structures. Animals likely became man because they cooked. Anyway, I'm glad you're happy. That's all that matters really.
Is a fact. That the probability is low if you source the food from top notch farmers is another thing
Being a top notch farmer, whatever that even means, doesn't just magically stop all microorganisms from existing.
Why would you want to kill all the microorganisms in your food? Do you drink purell to get rid of all your gut microbiome? If you’re gonna drink water from a dirty pond then it makes sense to boil it first. Water from a glacier is probably fine to drink as is. Same applies to food. If it’s low quality and dirty then cook it. If it’s of great quality and pristine then it’s fine to eat raw. It’s not rocket science. Just common sense
This is same logic govts use to gatekeep the benefits of raw dairy
There is no logic in government gatekeeping food, but it isn't like people werent getting really fucking sick from the raw milk at the time. Cleaner manufacturing can solve that today, but just disregarding the problem is ridiculous. Times and technology change, but you're still taking a greater risk. That's fine if you accept that. Denying the risk is not fine in my opinion.
agreed
I disagree that you’re taking a greater net risk today. All of this depends on the individuals digestive system. But there is also risks when consuming pasteurized dairy: Damages Proteins •Destroys Probiotics •Damages Omega-3s •Destroys Lactase Producing Bacteria • Inhibits Bioavailable Nutrients (Calcium, Phosphorus & Others) •Creates A Histamine Response •Deactivates Many Immune Factors Which can lead to: •IBS •Allergies •Asthma •Eczema •Chron’s •Lactose Intolerance
This is not exactly true. Cooking food changes the bioavailability of various nutrients. That is to say it changes what is available for your body to absorb. Some nutrients will become more available some less. As with everything diet related, moderation and variety is the key.
Beef was killed once. Don't kill it twice. https://image.nostr.build/0734f9781a574c25c89bacb51d6b3d05e7bc6798023643a89333ed82f6729dcd.jpg
