"the fiber in raw carrots"
I see you're familiar with Ray's other work :)

- briefcomment 6y agoRay thinks the fiber and antibacterial qualities of raw carrots are helpful in maintaining good intestinal health. This link has various quotes from Ray over the years on this topic. https://www.functionalps.com/blog/2012/09/28/ray-peat-phd-on-the-benefits-of-the-raw-carrot/ https://www.functionalps.com/blog/2012/09/28/ray-peat-phd-on...
- mastermojo 6y agoDoes the fiber in a cooked carrot become digestible?
- briefcomment 6y agoAccording to Ray and his research, yes. Eating cooked carrots will promote unwanted bacterial growth in the intestine, and can increase the absorption of beta carotene, which in increased amounts can suppress metabolism.
