By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Today we return to the bodybuilding and fitness web magazine, and supplement-pusher, T-Nation, or the “community for enhanced fitness,” as they describe themselves. In their recent supplement advertisement, they tackle the issue of eye health. Let’s see if they address the real causes of eyesight degeneration, as in what to avoid to actually reverse the condition, or if they simply want to sell you something. Yeah, I know, it’s the latter. However, I’ll give you […]

Today we return to T-Nation and a really important subject, a subject their Chris Shugart manages to turn into a full-blown retarded advertisement. Still, with more than 20+ active years as a high-level coach within the fitness and sports industry, this is something I worked a lot with, so let’s see what Chris has to say about the hormonal damage from strict ‘starvation’ diets. “Famine is fairly rare in today’s world, but that wasn’t

Dementia 101: Polyphenols (Urolithin A) Damages Brain Cells

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

Yesterday, Chris Shugart over at T-Nation published yet another advertisement-article for their extremely toxic and useless polyphenol supplements. As you likely know by now, polyphenols are defense chemicals produced by plants to deter, hurt, sterilize and kill anyone who tries to damage or consume them. Defense chemicals are extremely toxic and damaging to human physiology.  This time Chris used yet another misinterpreted study that bastardized the science to make a point for you to

Today we return to T-Nation and their CCO Chris Shugart as he tries to tackle the “issue” of leptin on badly constructed “fat loss diets.”Leptin is believed to be a ‘hormone’ produced primarily by fat tissue in the body. It’s said to play a crucial role in weight regulation and energy balance as it signals the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, to regulate appetite and metabolism. So, let’s see what Mr. Shugart has to say

Forskolin is Simply a Poison

The other day, T-Nation published another advertisement article for their toxic and useless supplements. This time it was about the active toxic substance forskolin from the herb coleus forskohlii — and they have pushed this crap many times before in several different advertisements disguised as “scientific” articles. Well, as with all misunderstood “natural” toxic compounds, forskolin has been studied since 1981 in vitro to better understand the cellular processes governed by cyclic adenosine monophosphate

The Manufacturing Process of Fish Oil and Why to Avoid it

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to the bodybuilding- and fitness website of T-Nation and the latest advertisement-article on fish oil by their CCO Chris Shugart. They really have been pushing out a lot of these kinds of articles lately, trying to justify their line of supplements. As I’ve been in the supplement business myself, for about 15 years, and developed a lot of them, I can relate to the ‘business side’ of it. However, I

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

Today we return to T-Nation and a very important topic. Although they used the study to try and sell you totally worthless “testosterone boosting” supplements, the main message is of importance, and it might not be as obvious as you think. However, it should be quite logical to anyone who understands biology and human physiology. For many years, due to the backwards pseudo-science of modern medicine, testosterone has been commonly believed to be linked

High-Protein Breakfast for Better Muscle Gain?

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 8 minutes of reading

Once again we return to T-Nation and an article focused on protein and muscle gain based on a study they found that can help them sell more protein supplements. While I do agree that you need more than ‘one meal a day’ to efficiently build muscle mass and maintain an athletic physique, let’s see where they go with this — and if the study is even relevant to world case scenarios (which they almost
