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

Once again we return to Examine.com for another perfect example of totally useless and meaningless trial study. This time they summarized a controlled trial with magnesium L-threonate and its impact on improved sleep quality, daytime functioning, and mood in adults with self-reported sleep problems. What was studied? “The effectiveness of supplementation with magnesium L-threonate (MgT) for improving self-reported sleep problems. The primary outcome was sleep quality, assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Leeds […]

Ramadan Is Not Fasting And It’s Practiced Backwards

Since there has been no real interesting articles or news as of lately, we once again return to Examine.com and one of their summaries of yet another really stupid meta-analysis. What was studied? “The effect of Ramadan fasting on kidney function in people who either had chronic kidney disease (CKD) or received a kidney transplant. The primary outcomes were changes in creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate.” First, let’s define fasting. Fasting is the

Stop Focusing On A Single Macronutrient, Focus on Species Specific Nutrition!

By / / Diet and Nutrition / 13 minutes of reading

Remember the misguided obsession that Chris Shugart of T-Nation has for protein? Well, the imbecile Matt Weik of the competing Ironmagazine is now trying to follow in Shugart’s footsteps, and to be honest he stumbles quite a lot, as usual. Let’s see what crap he scattered all over his poor readers this time. “I was cruising the internet the other day and stumbled upon some information that I found interesting. The topic was that

Zinc Deficiency Is Impossible On A Natural Animal-Based Diet

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

Today we return to T-Nation, the fitness wannabe supplement pushers that never have studied biochemistry, nor looked into simple biology or physiology. In their recent article on “zinc deficiency,” they once again fail to differentiate between organic and bioavailable minerals and inorganic non-bioavailable minerals. Let’s see what else they made a mess of. “Relying on the RDI (Recommended Dietary Intake) system is tricky business. The RDI provides guidelines for nutrient intake. The problem? The

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

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 14 minutes of reading

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

Plant Toxins, Accumulated Toxicity, Tissue Damage, And a Decreased Lifespan

After this Saturday’s article on the toxicity of nuts (seeds) my social media was flooded by comments and questions. While the majority of comments were positive, as my friends and followers are awake and of higher intelligence than the average sleeping sheeple, some comments were from people who never really commented before — most likely people who never looked at biology, physiology or biochemistry and simply believe in mainstream backwards “nutrition science” and “medical

What You Need To Know About Vitamin K

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 13 minutes of reading

The pharmaceutical shills at Healthline are at it again, publishing their usual nonsensical backwards-thinking rubbish. This time they praise the importance of vitamin K and recommend extremely toxic food sources without mentioning anything about bioavailability and the different chemical forms, as in non-active inorganic (plants) and the active organic forms (animals,) nor how these forms present themselves within the body, and how our body handles them. They are either outright lying to their audience,

Just Another Dangerous Scam: The Noom Diet

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

Iron Magazine and its extremely ignorant and clueless writer, Matt Weik, has been putting out more nonsensical garbage than usual this week. One of their articles covered the Noom diet and read more like an advertisement piece than a critical review. And although it sounds like the old Lolcat meme of “Om Nom Nom Nom,” it’s far from it. Let’s see what this moron, this Matt Weik, managed to put together. And I’ll try
