If there’s one thing the fitness industry preys on, it’s the desperation and lack of knowledge in people looking to lose body fat — and the evil shills at T-Nation are no exception.A few days ago they posted an article on the ridiculous idea to boost your metabolic rate while sleeping to burn a tiny little bit of extra energy. Let’s see what nonsense they spewed out this time. “’Burn fat while you sleep!’ […]

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

Today we return to Examine.com and a summary of a recent 2-week randomized crossover trial where the researchers explored different cooking methods as the link between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and detrimental health outcomes.  We’ve known for ages that high temperature, and especially prolonged exposure to high temperatures while cooking food, especially protein, creates AGEs, and this study adds to this growing mountain of evidence. So, I chose to write this article to

By / / Diet and Nutrition, Health and Fitness / 11 minutes of reading

I’ve covered the toxic nature of caffeine, a defense chemical produced by plants, in several articles. Caffeine is a poison that have become mainstream by conditioning and brainwashing and it wreaks havoc on your body due to its ability to induce a fight-or-flight stress response as well as blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn enhances the effect of the fight-or-flight response by a larger release of neurotransmitters like adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin,

On Friday May 23 I was suspended on Facebook for no real reason at all, and this Wednesday evening, May 28, my account was restored. However, today, Friday May 30, my account was yet again suspended for the same bullsh*t reason as the last time, as in “Cybersecurity,” which makes no sense at all. With that said, this time the suspension happened within seconds after me posting a snippet from today’s article and adding

By / / Health and Fitness / 6 minutes of reading

About a week ago, I covered another study showing how important it is not to eat in the evening or close to going to bed as having your last meal earlier in the day improved sleep onset, total sleep time, and sleep quality by quite extreme measures. This is logical as any ongoing digestion will interfere with sleep. If you have not read it, please do as it will add to this article and

This fine morning we return to Examine.com and a summary of a meta-analysis on chromium supplementation in overweight and obese people looking at parameters for weight loss, cardiometabolic risks and blood work results. The results should be common sense, as we know the functions of chromium and also the risks of anything in an inorganic supplemental form.

By / / Health and Fitness / 10 minutes of reading

Recently the shills at Medical News Today posted an article based on new research on the topic of exercise and our circadian rhythm. Although most of this should be common sense, let’s see what they actually got right and what they didn’t (or simply ignored to tell you.) “Over the past few years, researchers have come to have a better understanding of how the body’s circadian rhythm impacts overall health.” Really? Most of this

Again we return to Examine.com and a review of another new study where the authors and the crew at Examine had no clue what was happening. Luckily I’m here to once again set them straight, using my 35+ years of experience in the field and tons of freely available literature and established research within the fields of biology, physiology and biochemistry — and that long forgotten skill of common sense. Let’s see what they
