Before we move on, let’s define what a “fasting-mimicking diet” really is. According to the authors and the disinformation agent they interviewed, the one big shill Dr. Valter D. […]

Healthline is one of the most visited “health” websites in the world, which means that they influence a lot of people with their conclusions and recommendations.In their ‘letter from the editor,’ Lisa Valente, MS, RD, states that, “At Healthline Nutrition, we want to help you eat food that makes you feel good.

And here I thought we had put this protein debate to rest. However, the “Chief Content Officer” Chris Shugart, over at T-Nation, managed to find yet another “study” where he, just like the dimwits performing the study, draw some seriously flawed conclusions.

Here we go again. I could not help myself after being made aware of this article by our favorite case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, as in TC Luoma of T-Nation.Yeah, Luoma do shine on occasion with some good stuff, mostly in the humor department.
