None of the major coconut advocates (Peat, Enig, et al.) have said that coconut have anti-nutrients - quite the opposite, as coconuts are easier for the body to use as energy.
Yes, AA seems to be the major problem - it's difficult to say if the other things, such as "excitoxic" food additives like MSG would be much of a problem if the person did not have AA in his or her cells.
Diabetes is "inflammatory," again, meaning that AA is the root cause, along with particular stressors that cause cells to release the AA, which then gets made into things like PGE2 or LTB4 by enzymes, or there can also be dangerous molecules made from AA in non-enzymatic reactions.
Easy to digest starches and sugars are fine, but there are some issues:
1. You need to eat a certain amount of high-quality protein each day.
2. If you eat too much carbohydrate, you may feel hungry again after you eat and so might ingest too many calories.
3. Dental issues are mainly due to chronic inflammation and bacteria that are active, so if you drink tea or coffee and eat dark chocolate and raisins, the bacteria are much less of a problem. I also use picks to get the food out of the areas between teeth, and I haven't had any dental problems in many years, except for fillings that fall out and need to be replaced.
4. I don't do "exercise," so I can't say much about it. There was something I read a few years back talking about how some kinds of exercise are good for mitochondria and some are bad. Keep in mind that exercise is a stressor, and so you need to be careful if you decided you want to do it. |
