Re: coconut oil types and whey

[Guest guest]

Dear Duncan:

Here in India we have both the thick type edible coconut oil and the thinner

(refined?) organic edible coconut oil. I can't eat much of the thick type but I

can easily take the thin type. Is the thin type fine?

Secondly, I remember your emphasis on un-denatured whey to generate glutathione

inside the cells. But I have got to finally accept that I am sensitive to milk

so much that I can't tolerate whey. Its not about caseine because whey doesn't

have it. Its my sensitivity. I get sneezes, runny nose and water in eyes,

general fatigue and low energy if I drink beyong one tablespoon of whey in a

day.

So, for the purpose of glutathione can I just take free form L-Cystine (double

bond L-cysteine=cysteine) and for the remaining amino acids I can take spirulina

or sugar free soya milk?

Should I totally avoid soya?

Thanks in anticipation of your reply.

Ratan.

Hi Ratan; yes, the " thin type " of coconut oil, which I think may be RBD

(refined, bleached and deodorised, is fine. My family uses organic RBD coconut

oil because of the mild flavour.

L-cystine is fine; take a look at the liver function article for more liver

support information using other foods and supplements:

Yes you should totally avoid soya; it's thyroid-suppressive and carcinogenic.

all good,

Duncan

Ratan, some people do better on l-cystine than others and l-cystine is not

utilised quite the same as other cysteine-containing amino acids;

glutamylcysteine in whey for example, is utilised a bit differently.

Antioxidants improve glutathione levels via a sparing effect.

all good,

able to build up intracellular glutathione if I continue using L-Cystine,

coconut milk, spirulina and some eggs, fish, chicken?
