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

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 […]

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

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.”

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

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

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

Backwards Thinking 101: Poison Yourself For A Tiny Increase In Glucose Metabolism

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

Here we go again with the idiotic backwards thinking once introduced by “natural medicine” thousands of years ago when people had no idea of cause and effect. Well, to be honest, most people today, including these scientists, researchers, doctors and whatnot have absolutely no idea of cause and effect, and much less of simple biology, physiology, and biochemistry. Embarrassing! Quick Summary “In this 12-week randomized controlled trial, summarized by Examine.com, in 33 adults (18

VShred Diet? All Commercial- And Fitness-Oriented Diets Suck!

Today we’ll visit Men’s Health and a review of the VShred Diet. While the review is not entirely bad, it’s noticeable that the author, Abby Langer, and the “expert” she consulted are not well-versed in human nutrition nor physiology or biochemistry, so I’ll add my thoughts along the way. As the article is very long, I’ll cut out a few of the unimportant parts. “IF YOU’RE ANYWHERE on the internet on a regular basis,

Caffeine Will Interfere With Sleep And Reduce Memory Consolidation And Cognitive Recovery, Contributing To Mental Fatigue And Burnout

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

I’ve covered the toxic nature of caffeine, a defense chemical produced by plants, in several articles. Caffeine is a poison that have become mainstream by conditioning and brainwashing and it wreaks havoc on your body due to its ability to induce a fight-or-flight stress response as well as blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn enhances the effect of the fight-or-flight response by a larger release of neurotransmitters like adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin,

Only Toxic Beverages Will Lead To Higher Blood Glucose Levels After A Meal

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

Today we return to the very mediocre panel of reviewers at Examine.com and their summary of a recent study on what the very unintelligent “researchers” call “noncaloric beverages” and their impact on blood glucose levels after a meal. Anyone who understands the basics of physiology knows that diluting a meal with liquids can affect gastric emptying differently depending on the form of the meal. Usually it slows down the rate at which solids clear

Acute Poisoning For Achieving Fat Loss Is Not Healthy Nor Very Smart

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 7 minutes of reading

Today we return to Examine.com and a summary of another totally useless study where they do not understand the simple biochemistry and biological reaction of taking a poison. And no kind of “word play” as in rewriting polyphenols as poly-lean-ols will make it more believable. In that case, try calling it poly-poison-us instead. So, let’s see what they f**ked up this time. Quick Summary In this systematic review of 13 randomized controlled trials involving
