Topics include nutrient bioavailability, protein digestibility, B-vitamin heat sensitivity, egg whites and avidin, food safety, peptides, and why cooking may matter more for people with prior GI surgery or reduced stomach acid. Dr. Westman also explains why most carnivore eaters are nowhere near nutrient deficiency — and why obsessing over micronutrient “edge cases” can miss the bigger picture. I…
