I prefer reading to listening to podcasts, but this one wasn't too bad, Debbie. You can skip the intro ads and get to Ray talking at 1:57.
I first read Neanderthin in ~1999 after reading Protein Power and tried various LC diets over the years, but what works best for me is Ray Audette's prescription: no grains, no dairy, no sugar, no legumes, no potatoes.
I hadn't heard about toxoplasmosis causing mental problems, but take issue with blaming it all on house cats. Although people can be infected through contact with cat feces, the far more common way for someone to have contact with the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis is through unhygienic handling of raw or undercooked meat, drinking contaminated water and exposure to garden soil or sandboxes where infected cats may have defecated. People do not get the disease through direct contact with the cat itself.
Another interesting point he made during the interview was that cooking carbs at high temperatures greatly increases their (carcinogenic) acrylamide level. A slice of white bread has 300, a slice of healthywholegrain bread has >400 (not sure of the units; with more crunchy carbs having more acrylamide), yet a cigarette has 1.6.
