Hello Paul,
Is it true that the best way to cook eggs is soft-boiling them because that way more lecithin and choline are preserved? Are other methods such as scrambled eggs worse?
Thanks.
No, I don’t believe it matters how you cook them. Boiling them denatures proteins but doesn’t destroy them. The nutrients are still there.
Hello Paul,
Is organic pork liver a good source of copper as well? I bought some because they didn’t have beef this time.
Hi Peter,
No, pork liver has less than one twentieth of the copper of beef or lamb liver. Compare for example

Dear Paul,
Could you please say whether warming up bone broth before consumption to transform the jello into a liquid reduces the benefits somehow or the effects of collagen? Are we supposed to eat it in the gelatinous form? Thanks.
No, heating does not reduce nutrition. It’s great in a hot soup or stew.
Hello Paul,
According to this research bone broth is not the great source of minerals it was once thought out to be, can you please comment:

Hey Paul,
I’m wanting to try your lunch bowl out – meat, rice, veggies drenched in egg yolk! Salads with meat are getting old! Would you please elaborate on how you prepare the egg yolk on this dish? I just boiled the eggs & peeled the white away & only threw the yolk in there, but I’m sure theres a better way.
Thank you!

Hello Paul,
Is it a good idea to blend chicken remains (bone, cartilage) into a smoothie and drink for some minerals and collagen? This way one doesn’t have to throw away anything?
Thanks.
Hi Betty, it’s common among animals to eat small bones and cartilage, so yes this could be beneficial/nourishing. Best, Paul
Dear Paul,
Have you heard this theory that if you eat a certain food very often, your body starts to develop IgG and IgE antibodies against it? There has been some evidence that if you eat a lot of avocados they may trigger a positive on a food intolerance test, because the body is producing antibodies against it. What is the evolutionary reason for this mechanism, does it have any value?
Regards.
Hi Stephen,
Immunology is complex. Exposure to higher levels of antigens can increase the risk of developing antibodies, but frequent exposure can also induce tolerance. I wouldn’t avoid eating a food you like because of an assumed change in sensitivity risk.
Best, Paul
Hey Paul,
Do you think it’s possible to meet daily copper needs by storing drinking water in a copper vessel overnight and then drinking the water?
Regards,
Molly
Hi Molly,
The amount of copper you get that way is going to be highly sensitive to the acidity of the water, and hard to control. I would recommend chocolate and nuts if you want to get copper from diet.

Do you recommend turkey at all, or is there a reason not to eat turkey meat? I like it better than chicken and read The Perfect Health Diet, but did not see any mention of turkey. Also, what cheese would you recommend? An aged cheddar ok? Thank you. Just starting your health plan.
Turkey is fine. Any cheese is fine.
Is turkey really fine though? A run-of-the-mill store-bought turkey is probably fed with soy & other high omega-6 grains. So the meat will directly reflect the feed.
Is it allowed the malted barley molasses,which specify are gluten free?
Thank you.
Yes, although it’s not recommended, it is acceptable.

Dear Paul,
Can you please say whether dried fruit and vegetables are just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts? I am mostly interested in dried tomatoes and blueberries (organic, unsweetened, unprocessed). I am also wondering whether blueberries retain their anthocyanin contents and and anti-cancer effects when dried. What are your general thoughts about dried fruits and veggies?
Thanks so much,
Della
Hi Della, it depends on the method of drying and preserving, but generally they should be as nutritious, yes.

Hi Paul, i have an under active thyroid and my cholesterol is creeping up. I have been put on 50mcg of levothyroxine sodium 6 days a week, nothing for cholesterol yet. What foods should i avoid? Also what foods should i be eating and what supplements would help me?
thank you for your help

Dear Paul,
I have the following two questions regarding Wakame:
1. If eating daily Wakame 10-20g do we need to boil in water to decrease Iodine and Arsenic contents?
2. Do we need to combine Wakame and other seaweed with goitrogens like soy/broccoli/bok choy (like the Japanese do) to help protect against excessive Iodine? (goitrogens compete with Iodine and might help prevent excessive Iodine intake).
Thanks,
Stella
Dear Paul,
We seem to posses many attributes of herbivores such as carbohydrate degrading enzymes in our mouth, longer guts and the need to chew food and carnivores have none of these features. Does this mean that our bodies are more similar to those of herbivores than those of carnivores?
Thanks
Hi Asania,
Humans are omnivores meant to eat a mix of animal and plant foods. I would not say we are closer to herbivores than carnivores; for example, the ratio of small intestine length to colon length is more similar in humans to carnivores and in gorillas to herbivores.
Best, Paul
Hello Paul,
i was checking your website and i have a question, i know that people that have cancer tend to go to vegetarian diets and cut meet specially red meat and sugars, in your diet there is a lot of meet, organs meet and bones, which is nutritious. Is your diet recommended for people having or have had cancer?
Also one can apply your diet with the supplements, or those are mandatory?
Dear Paul,
Should we avoid beef brain due to fear of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease?
Thanks,
Paola
Hey Paul,
Can you please share a healthful way to preserve meat without electricity/refrigeration? What is the best ancestral practice for this? Thanks.
Salting or curing meat is the traditional approach. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt-cured_meat
