Inexpert Advice
I happened to read Martica Heaner’s column, “Expert Advice” on MSN.com this morning. It wasn’t bad at all… In fact, I thought her article, “Do Exercise and Nutrition Affect How Old You Look?“, was a pretty decent rundown on the effects of exercise (and secondarily, nutrition) on the aging process. Nonetheless, it reminded me of a line I recall from Babylon 5: “Unfortunately, while all...

Thus, I was prepared to high-five an article in the L.A. Times: “A Little Lip Gloss, a Little Weight Loss” by Alexandra...
“Clown Car” Supplements
I’m currently wrapping up a review on Muscle Asylum Project’s “Freak Fix Muscle Whey.” For those of you who don’t already know, MAP is owned by Iovate Health Sciences – the parent company of Muscletech. Now MAP is a separate label, but it’s really a distinction without a difference. The way the MAP stuff is designed and marketed, it might as well BE Muscletech. Now, Muscletech’s stuff...
