Partial Sleep Deprivation and its Effects on Health

Again, we return to T-Nation and one of their latest short and hidden ‘advertisement articles.’ They’ve really been pumping these out lately, with the basic principle of some little “problem” found in some study and then a backwards solution that leads the uninformed reader to buy their supplements. While the latter is complete bollocks, some of the research data can be of interest, at least if interpreted correctly, and that is where yours truly […]

Resveratrol is a Toxic Defense Chemical and Has Zero Anti-Aging Effects

The supplement-pushers at T-Nation are back with another advertisement-article about their unnatural and toxic supplements, this time with the claim that the polyphenol ‘Resveratrol,’ a potent poison, has “anti-ageing” effects trough ‘Angiogenesis.’ Well, I totally debunked Resveratrol back in January 5, 2024, when former T-Nation writer TC Luoma wrote some complete pseudo-science garbage about polyphenols and Resveratrol in particular. To make a short recap, I’ll recite some of what I wrote in that article.

Protein Synthesis: How to Sell More Useless Supplements

By Joachim Bartoll / May 28, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

Today we return to a short article at T-Nation based on a study from 2017 on whole eggs vs. egg whites as a post-workout meal and its effect on ‘muscle protein synthesis.’ Once upon a time, I have to admit that I was very much into the whole para-workout nutrition thing, as I experimented a lot among both my clients who were willing to try new ideas, and other lifters that I recruited through

Totally Wrong Again About Inflammation and Cholesterol

By Joachim Bartoll / May 27, 2024 / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

One of the worst websites on the interwebs is at it again. This time, Healthline with its authors, still not managing to average an IQ between them of that of a Chimpanzee, got virtually everything about inflammation and cholesterol wrong. If you’re familiar with my work or with the real science of human physiology, you already know that inflammation is simply a name for the body’s response of healing damaged tissue. Inflammation in itself

How Not to Do Research: Extreme Exercise and Lifespan

By Joachim Bartoll / May 25, 2024 / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Today we return to the government- and Big Pharma disinformation website ‘Medical News Today,’ and a recent summary of yet another extremely poorly executed study. This time it was a paper on the longevity of the first 200 sub-4 min mile male runners, put together by some ill-trained monkeys at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. As you should know, all form of intense exercise is stress and damages the body, which means that

Maternal Toxicity Associated With Children’s Behavioral and Emotional Regulation

By Joachim Bartoll / May 21, 2024 / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

Today we return to the shill Dr. Axe and his website that promotes extremely unhealthy diet- and nutritional advice. On occasion, his crew also covers other topics, like this recent study on assessed perinatal factors known to be related to maternal and neonatal inflammation and hypothesized that several would be associated with emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dysregulation in youth. As the “researchers” used the word ‘inflammation’ in their description of the objective of the

The Ketogenic Diet and Mental Health Benefits

By Joachim Bartoll / May 19, 2024 / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

The Big Pharma and Medical Pseudo-Science shill-website Medical News Today recently tried their best to stay neutral while reviewing a new study on the Ketogenic Diet and its potential to improve mood and mental well-being in the general population. Considering that the study, like all “nutritional oriented” studies was very poorly done, and the writers at Medical News Today are totally clueless about human physiology, this might be a fun ride. As usual, I’ll

It’s Simple. All ‘Eat Less’ Diets Suck!

By Joachim Bartoll / May 17, 2024 / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

The other day, the bodybuilding and fitness online publication T-Nation posted another ‘dieting’ article. This time it was Chris Shugart writing a piece on a badly executed study comparing what some call “rigid dieting” and the even more retarded “flexible dieting.” As I’ve actually coached in bodybuilding and fitness from the mid 90’s to around 2016, about 20+ years on a highly professional level, this will surely be interesting, or a big laugh.
