Yet again we’ll return to Examine.com and take a look at a meta-analysis of extremely poor studies and trials on “low-carbohydrate” diets and improvements on quality of life (QoL,) and cognition. Quick Summary “In this meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials in 1,781 adult participants, researchers looked at a low-carbohydrate and improvements in mood, anxiety, or memory speed, but its effects varied depending on individual characteristics and contexts.” There are a few crucial things […]

Today we return to Examine.com and one of their summaries of a recent study of useless quercetin and the non-essential amino acid citrulline on elite cycling performance. What was studied? “The effects of combined supplementation with quercetin (500 mg) and citrulline (3,000 mg) on measures of cycling performance, including average power, oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, 20-kilometer time trial performance, and rating of perceived exertion in trained cyclists.” Quercetin is a flavonoid belonging to

This was just too stupid, humorous, and dangerous at the same time to let it slide by. Only a few days after the imbecile Matt Weik, whom I called out as a hypocrite, published his awful advertisement article for the highly toxic and dangerous “mud water,” where he praised the lower caffeine content compared to coffee, he now published an article promoting the most potent and dangerous version of caffeine. Well, considering that caffeine

Today we revisit the shill Dr. Axe and his staff’s latest attempt to write an article about ‘workout nutrition’ and food for athletes. On June 23, I reviewed a similar article from Healthline, which was, well, really bad. Let’s see how this ‘Rachael Link’ does, and I’ll add my thoughts from working at the absolute elite-level in this field for more than 20 years. “It’s no secret that hitting the gym is important when

Today we return to Iron Magazine, the supplement-based “bodybuilding and fitness magazine” platform that once upon a time tried to ride on the popularity of our online magazine IronMag Online. This time, their writer Matt Weik tackles the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD.) So, let’s see what he has to say, and I’ll add my thoughts from my 28-years of experience with ketogenic diets and elite-level coaching. “Many people have heard of, tried, or have

Yesterday, May 6, T-Nation posted yet another advertisement article for their useless supplements. It seems most of their articles nowadays are just that – advertisements filled with pseudo-science and utter nonsense. This time they began their “article” with a throwback to the 1950’s and the era of desperate ads by the sugar- and food industry touting sugar as a “superfood” to kill cravings and increase willpower as a countermeasure to health experts that had

The supplement-shills over at the “fitness website” T Nation continues with their disguised advertisement articles based on flawed science and backwards thinking. This time it is (once again,) their CCO Chris Shugart, who obviously knows absolutely nothing about human physiology, pushing Cyclic Dextrin also referred to as Highly Branched Cluster Dextrin (HBCD,) a type of high-molecular-weight maltodextrin. Now, HBCD is nothing new, it’s been around for a long time. It’s simply a dextrin, produced

Biohacking is Complete Bullshit

Inspired by a post at our community forums over at Ungovernable.se, about the hydrogen water gimmick, I decided to make a short article about this nonsense called ‘biohacking.’ And be prepared, I will not pull any punches today as a bloody nose might be what is needed to wake some people up from their indoctrination and reversed ‘logic.’ To make it easy, I will define ‘biohacking,’ also known as ‘DIY biology,’ as a futile
