Totally Irrelevant And Damaging: Carbs For Tomorrow’s Workout (And Some Bodybuilding History)

Today we return to the supplement pushers and bro-science fraudsters at T-Nation for another atrocious article promoting a very unhealthy and life-shortening diet and lifestyle. I know that I have touched on this subject many times, but it needs repeating from many different angles — as in this case about consuming toxic carbohydrates to “improve” the next day’s workout. Let’s see what the imbeciles had to say on the subject. “The gains you make […]

Headaches And Migraines: What Causes Them And How To Avoid Them

Recently, Fox News published an “rather decent” article on the very retarded idea of drinking caffeinated and sugar-filled sodas to alleviate headaches and migraines. Let’s see what they, and the “experts” they reached out to had to say on this subject and on headaches and migraines in general. “For the 39 million Americans who suffer from migraines, finding effective relief can be a constant struggle – leading many to test out old wives’ tales.”

Today we return to Examine.com and a review of a 6-week randomized controlled trial in 97 men and women with uncontrolled grade 1 primary hypertension. The researchers had the people enrolled in the trial taking Ma’aljobon, a whey protein preparation traditionally used in Persian medicine, to find out if it could reduce both diastolic and systolic blood pressure (the primary outcomes.) Key study details “The participants took either 50 grams of Ma’aljobon powder dissolved

Backwards Thinking: Triggering A Fight-Or-Flight Stress Response From Toxic Dark Chocolate To Feel Better

Here we go again with the incredible imbeciles at T-Nation (Chris Shugart) and their ever repeating snakeoil tactics to sell you toxic and totally worthless supplements.  This time they’re promoting unhealthy dark chocolate and their similar supplement to feed unnatural gut bacteria to produce something we normally produce ourselves. Well, let’s see what nonsense the little monkey spat out this time. If a five is “extremely down” but they’re only four points, I guess

While Drugs Play A Part, Early Deaths In Bodybuilding Is Mostly Diet Related

Recently, Medscape published an article on a study looking at deaths among professional bodybuilders between 2005 and 2020 to calculate the risk of sudden death, especially related to heart failure (aka. sudden cardiac deaths [SCDs].) While there certainly is an overrepresentation of sudden deaths among elite level bodybuilders, as soon as they tried to explain why, everything went downhill showing once again how incredibly ignorant these people are of simple physiology and biochemistry. So,

Plant-Based (Pea) Protein Is Totally Worthless For Humans

Once again we return to Examine.com for another study that proves what we already know, but the unintelligent researchers and the monkeys at Examine.com don’t even understand the results of the study. Kind of hilarious and sad at the same time. Quick Summary In this 5-day randomized crossover trial of 16 vegetarian men and women (average age of 24,) the subjects were randomly assigned to consume 1.2 or 2.0 g/kg/day of protein, and were

Walking Is A Band-Aid If Your Diet Still Sucks (Toxic Carbohydrates)

Today we’ll yet again return to Examine.com to look at a randomized controlled trial with an outcome that is so obvious it’s the ultimate waste of time and money. With that said, it does present a good opportunity to explain what the researchers observed and why. So, let’s get on with it. Quick Summary “In this 12-week randomized controlled trial in 66 older adults in South Korea with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, regular treadmill

Intermittent Fasting Will Not Reduce Inflammation On Its Own

As most of us know by now, the medical “scientific community” are nothing more than a bunch of backwards-thinking imbeciles with a combined IQ less than that of a warm stinking pile of fresh turds. And that is putting it as nicely as I can. One simple thing they never seem to understand is that of inflammation and what it actually is, although it’s clearly defined in biology and physiology. In short, inflammation is
