I love these lessons. I would love to see a section on the effects of environmental conditions on nutrients. Does storage lower nutrients? Does cooking destroy the nutrients? exposure to light? etc..

I'd need your brains, please. If someone suffers from depression and recently reports ravenous appetite, body fat increases and most likely water retention from general overloading (high stress plus intensive workouts) but at the same time is reporting postprandial hypoglycemia shortly after a load of carbs, could that indicate thiamin deficiency?

Georgi Dinkov from Idea Labs recently launched an updated B vitamin supplement called Energin (https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/energin-liquid-b-complex-vitamin-mix.3859/). The update was to replace the Thiamine Hcl portion to Prosultiamine. Ignoring the other b vitamins in the supplement, do you any thoughts on that variation?
