Dementia 101: Polyphenols (Urolithin A) Damages Brain Cells

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 6 minutes of reading

Yesterday, Chris Shugart over at T-Nation published yet another advertisement-article for their extremely toxic and useless polyphenol supplements. As you likely know by now, polyphenols are defense chemicals produced by plants to deter, hurt, sterilize and kill anyone who tries to damage or consume them. Defense chemicals are extremely toxic and damaging to human physiology.  This time Chris used yet another misinterpreted study that bastardized the science to make a point for you to […]

Fat Loss 101: Leptin And Hunger Is Not An Issue If You’re Fat Adapted and Fully Nourished

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 12 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and their CCO Chris Shugart as he tries to tackle the “issue” of leptin on badly constructed “fat loss diets.”Leptin is believed to be a ‘hormone’ produced primarily by fat tissue in the body. It’s said to play a crucial role in weight regulation and energy balance as it signals the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, to regulate appetite and metabolism. So, let’s see what Mr. Shugart has to say

Forskolin is Simply a Poison

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

The other day, T-Nation published another advertisement article for their toxic and useless supplements. This time it was about the active toxic substance forskolin from the herb coleus forskohlii — and they have pushed this crap many times before in several different advertisements disguised as “scientific” articles. Well, as with all misunderstood “natural” toxic compounds, forskolin has been studied since 1981 in vitro to better understand the cellular processes governed by cyclic adenosine monophosphate

Turmeric (Curcumin) and Black Pepper (Piperine) Linked to Liver Damage

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

This should not come as a surprise, as these spices and herbs are very rich in phenols and polyphenols, as in phytonutrients, as in plant defense chemicals; poisonous compounds produced by the plant to ward off and kill anyone who tries to eat it. This is common knowledge within biology. What might come as a surprise is that the pharmaceutical shill-website Medical News Today actually writes about it. Well, they kind of have to,

The Manufacturing Process of Fish Oil and Why to Avoid it

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to the bodybuilding- and fitness website of T-Nation and the latest advertisement-article on fish oil by their CCO Chris Shugart. They really have been pushing out a lot of these kinds of articles lately, trying to justify their line of supplements. As I’ve been in the supplement business myself, for about 15 years, and developed a lot of them, I can relate to the ‘business side’ of it. However, I

Low Testosterone in Men Linked to Premature Death?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and a very important topic. Although they used the study to try and sell you totally worthless “testosterone boosting” supplements, the main message is of importance, and it might not be as obvious as you think. However, it should be quite logical to anyone who understands biology and human physiology. For many years, due to the backwards pseudo-science of modern medicine, testosterone has been commonly believed to be linked

How Much Fat Should You Consume on a Typical Carnivore Diet? And a Few Words on Digestive Issues

By / / Animal-Based Nutrition / Carnivore, Diet and Nutrition / 9 minutes of reading

I get a lot of fat-related questions, including requests for help regarding digestive issues among those who want to transition to our natural species-appropriate, species-specific carnivorous way of eating. Most of these questions are from my consulting services and some issues require some fine-tuning back and forth to slowly heal and get the digestive system working again. With that said, there’s a lot that you can try that is fairly simple and straightforward without

High-Protein Breakfast for Better Muscle Gain?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to T-Nation and an article focused on protein and muscle gain based on a study they found that can help them sell more protein supplements. While I do agree that you need more than ‘one meal a day’ to efficiently build muscle mass and maintain an athletic physique, let’s see where they go with this — and if the study is even relevant to world case scenarios (which they almost

The Depression-Fighting Animal Fats

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

Three days after I published my review of Healthline’s atrocious article on dealing with depression, T-Nation posted an advertisement article on fighting depression with dietary fats, as in fish oil, as in their omega-3 supplements.Are they keeping tabs on what is trending? Likely, as that would be a smart move if you’re trying to sell something. Before we continue, I recommend that you read my article “Do Not Support/Enable Depressed People, Fix the Problem

Partial Sleep Deprivation and its Effects on Health

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 9 minutes of reading

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
