Sneaky, Rotten, Underhanded, Dirty Tricks Vol I.
A short while ago I received an e-mail offering an invitation to purchase one or more of a small number of remaining bottles of BetaFuel. BetaFuel is distributed by MarqiLife and Brock Felt (who appears as an “unbiased customer” in the before and after shots featured on the BetaFuel web site. You can also see Brock’s pictures featured on the NiteTrim product site as well). BetaFuel happens to be an ephedra-based...
Dishonest Or Incompetent? Your Choice…
For some reason I decided to go check out some of UltimateFatBurner.com’s competitors today; you know – the thinly disguised product promotion sites masquerading as unbiased “review” sites. Not really sure why I decided to do this; some perverse desire to raise my blood pressure, I guess. Anyhow, if you’re subscribed to UltimateFatBurner.com’s newsfeed you’ll be aware that many of the products...
Twinkie, Deconstructed
I’ve just finished Steve Ettlinger’s “Twinkie, Deconstructed.” Its bright orange cover caught my eye a few weeks back in a local bookstore, and once I read the back cover, I was hooked (this, in large part to the influence of Elissa, who is a food scientist by trade). The premise of “Twinkie, Deconstructed” is a simple one; explain clearly the origin and role of each and every ingredient...
To Top It All Off, Kids Meals Are WAAAAAAY Too High In Calories!
Over the last few months, Elissa and I have been blogging about growing obesity crisis as it pertains to children. As detailed here and here, children are increasingly vulnerable to advertising for junk food (on which the major players spend zillions of dollars), and they are also spending more and more time in front of the tube. It’s not particularly surprising therefore, that a recent study performed by the Center for...
Stevia… Is It Finally U.S. Bound?
Stevia, the south American herb that’s been used as a sweetener for years, but rejected by the FDA as being unsafe (despite the fact that its been consumed for nearly 30 years in Japan with no adverse effects noted) may be finally coming to the United States. Coca-Cola and Cargill are the force behind this; they are combining forces to create a product called Rebiana. Although we’ll have to wait and see, it does not look...
The Surprise 20 Minute Workout…
So it’s Friday evening, and I’m stoked. I’ve got the top down on the car, the tunes cranked, a shaker cup with a scoop each of H+Blocker and CE-XL in my hand, and I’m off to the gym for a chest workout. I’m looking forward to a good solid hour of hammering my chest in relative solitude (it’s always dead on Friday nights… most people have a life of some sort… lol). As I drive along,...
