Sometimes there are studies that are so obviously unnecessary as they simply acknowledge what we have known for hundreds of years, even though they try to twist them a little, as in this study using a whey protein supplement instead of simply increasing animal-based protein. Let’s see what Examine.com had to say. Quick summary In this randomized controlled trial in 93 participants with obesity, one group was assigned a daily dose of 15 grams […]

Not Just Vegan Protein Powders: Anything Plant-Based Is Full Of Toxins And Contaminants

From time to time it actually does happen; supplement-industry shills like T-Nation post some minor truths about nutrition and supplementation, although they do not understand, nor see, the whole picture. Let’s see what they had to say about the extremely toxic and unhealthy vegan protein powders. “Informed lifters have known for years that plant-based proteins (rice, pea, soy) underperform when it comes to building muscle. After all, muscle protein synthesis is triggered primarily by

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 5 minutes of reading

Today we return to Examine.com and a review of a 6-week randomized controlled trial in 97 men and women with uncontrolled grade 1 primary hypertension. The researchers had the people enrolled in the trial taking Ma’aljobon, a whey protein preparation traditionally used in Persian medicine, to find out if it could reduce both diastolic and systolic blood pressure (the primary outcomes.) Key study details “The participants took either 50 grams of Ma’aljobon powder dissolved

Today we return to Ironmagazine and the hopeless Matt Weik as he does a Chris Shugart from T-Nation and tries to tackle protein, or more precisely, processed protein powders. Let’s see if he managed to get at least one thing correct. “When you think of protein powder, you typically think of whey. However, casein protein is a source that you should also consider due to its many benefits.” Yes, before my awakening and turning

Alpha-lactalbumin For Sleep And Improved Reaction Times? Nutrients Do Not Improve Conditions Unless Deficient!

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

Today we return to Examine.com and a review of another quite meaningless study. This time a group of researchers thought it would be a good idea to see if supplementation with alpha-lactalbumin could improve sleep stages and reaction time in 19 adult athletes with sleep difficulties. Key study details “The study was performed in a sleep laboratory. The participants took 40 grams of alpha-lactalbumin or collagen (placebo) 2 hours before sleep.” Before we begin,

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

Fewer and Larger Meals is Our Natural Preference

By / / Body Transformation / Bodybuilding, Diet and Nutrition / 11 minutes of reading

Yesterday, the Bodybuilding and Fitness website T-Nation posted an article about a study from late 2023 on the effects of a single 100 grams of protein serving after a workout. Back in the day, people used to have some weird belief that you could only absorb about 30 grams of protein per meal, which of course is extremely ridiculous (and we’ll get to that.) Actually, a lot of people who are oblivious to the
