Which is something that certain supp manufacturers/retailers evidently don’t understand. Earlier in the week, I clicked through an interesting presentation given at the recent International Society of Sports Nutrition conference. Entitled “Sports Supplements, Science, and the Politics of New Washington“, it offered some explicit warnings to the supplement industry. As authors Rick Collins, JD, CSCS and Alan...
White Goodman Lives!
If you’ve ever seen the movie “Dodgeball”, then you know who White Goodman is.

Being a Health Nut has its Drawbacks…
…when your good habits keep you going well past 100. That’s Larry Haubner’s problem… at 107, he’s still going strong – which he attributes to nutrition and exercise. But he’s evidently outlived his savings – twice. Ask Larry Haubner for the secret to living 107 years, and the Fredericksburg man flexes his biceps, flashes a mostly toothless smile and growls. “Nutrition!” he...
