Reducing Carbohydrates Will Decrease Liver Fat

Today we return to Examine.com and one of their reviews on a recent study on “changes in macronutrients and changes in liver fat.”If you know a little biochemistry, this should be a no-brainer. So, let’s see what was discovered and what skewed conclusions they drew from it. What was studied? “Associations between changes in macronutrient intake and changes in liver fat.” Well, we know for sure of one macronutrient that is both toxic and […]

Forcing The Body to Use More Energy By Increased Detoxification Is Not A Good Idea

Today we return to T-Nation and their clueless and protein-obsessed writer Chris Shugart, a guy I’ve had to correct more times than I care to remember. This time he’s once again raving about the alleged metabolic/thermogenic effects of protein, which in reality are almost negligible. We already know that protein is used for several processes in the body, processes that require energy — so about 20 to 30 % of the energy content in

Don’t Waste Your Money: R-lipoic Acid (ALA/RLA) Supplements

So, let’s see what

Nuts (Seeds) Are Extremely Toxic And Useless

As I’m a bit short on time, we return to Examine.com for today’s “shorter” article and their summary of yet another stupid and unnecessary nutritional meta-analysis. And to be clear, a meta-analysis is a statistical method of combining and synthesizing the results of multiple independent studies addressing a “common research question.” So, what was this common question, this fascinating puzzle they had to solve this time? Well, this bunch of monkeys went through a

Insulin, Glucose Toxicity, And Fat Loss

Today we’ll take a look at Anabolic Minds, a quite popular bodybuilding and supplement website very similar to T-Nation, but with fewer advertisement articles and less pushing for toxic and useless supplements. While their article on the Carnivore Diet vs. The Mediterranean Diet was a total mess of being totally clueless of bioavailability and what nutrients actually are, their latest article on insulin is a perfect example of getting some things right while being

All About Ghrelin, Hunger, Cravings, and Starvation

Today we return to the shills at Medical News Today and their attempt at explaining ghrelin and the impact of vigorous workouts on appetite and hunger. Yes, again the same backwards thinking, as in exercising more to blunt hunger instead of fixing the issue that causes hunger, which is nutrient deficiencies. But we’ll get to that. Let’s see what these uneducated morons have to say first. “Ghrelin is a hormone in the body that

Time-Restricted Eating (Intermittent Fasting) Done The Right Way

Anyone with basic knowledge within physiology, biology and proper human nutrition knows that time-restricted eating (TRE,) as in Intermittent Fasting, or a “feeding window” that lets you enter a fasting state before the next day’s feeding window is extremely important for maximum health, and especially for detoxification. Yesterday, September 30, 2024, the pharmaceutical- and government shills at Medical News Today published an article on time-restricted eating and the latest “research.” Considering their agenda of keeping

Calories, As In Heat Units, Are Irrelevant To Human Physiology

Today we’ll visit the website of the bodybuilding magazine “Muscular Development” and their nutrition section where Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D., who for some reason actually managed to make himself a name within the fitness industry, answers the question if a “calorie is a calorie.” Let’s see what Brad answers, while I’ll add some real science, common sense, and logic to the discussion. You know, the qualities that got lost somewhere along the road a long
