Sorry, But the FDA Isn’t THAT Stupid
The health/fitness supplement industry has an uneasy relationship with the FDA – to say the least. Thus, it was no surprise to see a link to this news item getting passed around, so people could have a laugh at the agency’s expense… Popular cereal is a drug, US food watchdog says WASHINGTON (AFP) – Popular US breakfast cereal Cheerios is a drug, at least if the claims made on the label by its manufacturer General...
Is This the Right Room for an Argument?
As the resident “scientific advisor” here at ultimatefatburner.com, I occasionally get called on to comment on issues unrelated to my primary tasks (writing bodybuilding supp and functional food reviews; blogging). Thus, it was no surprise to find an e-mail from Paul in this morning’s messages, asking for my feedback on an exchange he had with Dr. Ben Gonzalez, over his (negative) review on hCG for weight loss....

Problem is, the experts consulted by the author never come to grips with the subject’s food CHOICES and eating...

John (the hubby) and I hit the gym kinda late (for us) last night – about 6:00 p.m. We both did a cardio workout, plus some ab work…but cut the latter short, as John was getting hungry. Since it was already late, and we knew we were out of stuff at home, we decided to grab some take out, vs. shopping and...
Dumb and Unnecessary
Sometimes even I get surprised at how sloppy some supp makers can be, when it comes to designing and marketing their products. A case in point arrived in my inbox this morning from a bud – pointing me to a product called “2 Methyl 13-C” from Iron Tek. It’s a pre-workout/NO-booster-type product containing creatine.
