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

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 […]

The Nitrate And Nitric Oxide Dilemma

Some people seem to think that getting more nitrate is a good way to boost nitric oxide as a tiny portion of nitrate can be converted into nitric oxide, but is it? Well, a recent study summarized by Examine.com adds to the confusion. Let’s see what they found and what the incompetent crew at Examine concluded. Quick Summary In this randomized crossover trial in 18 resistance-trained men, the researchers had them consuming various doses

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

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

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

Spinach Will Halt Exercise Recovery (And More On Antioxidants)

I’m sorry for the repetition, but this nonsense about antioxidants and the misconceptions about inflammation is being pushed on us daily. Yesterday I covered the incredible toxic black seeds and how they interfere with the liver and the production of C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor-alpha which are crucial for detoxification and healing — all while the backwards and bought-and-paid-for pseudo-science refer to it as inflammation lowering, which they say is good, when in

Black Seeds Will Interfere With Detoxification And Healing

Today we return to Examine.com and another summary of an umbrella review of 7 meta-analyzes looking at the totally misunderstood, backwards-thinking, and surely agenda-driven view of inflammatory and “antioxidant” biomarkers. Inflammation is simply the body’s manifestation of detoxification and healing, something that is necessary and vital to your survival if you expose your body to toxins, as in an inappropriate diet and/or environmental toxins. Inflammation, as in detoxing and healing, must thus run its

Wise Up! Antinutrients? Everything In Vegetables Is Unusable And Toxic To Humans!

The ridiculous propaganda website “Health.com” aka. “Unhealthy as f**k” recently posted an article about antinutrients, one of the many problems with all plant-based “food.” Of course, they acknowledge some of the problems with antinutrients only to try and minimize them. It’s the usual tactic used towards a gullible audience. Give a little bit of legitimacy to the “horrid claims” then downplay it and turn it around by quoting some paid charlatans. Well, let’s see

Citrulline May Only Help With Athletic Performance If Your Diet Is Extremely Bad

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
