"First the facts. Creatine is safe. It is produced naturally from amino acids in the body and stored in muscles. Creatine in supplement form works as a training aid for many athletes. Creatine has never been proven to be carcinogenic or a health risk. And creatine has nothing to do with any perceived decline of Western civilization."

NetDoktor: BSE-risiko: 9 februari
"Kapsler med fiskeolie er under mistanke for at kunne overføre smitte med BSE - kogalskab. Det skyldes, at kapslerne er lavet af gelatine, der laves af knogler fra tyske og franske køer.

Gold's Gym: Fitness Fact:
"If you lose more than two pounds in a week, you may actually start losing hard earned muscle. All the hype regarding fast weight loss is just that-hype. An average sized person requires a calorie deficit of 1000 calories per day to lose 2 pounds of fat per week. It is mathematically impossible for an average sized person to burn more than 2 pounds of fat in one week. However, it is possible to burn more weight in the form of muscle loss or dehydration-both of which slow the metabolic rate and future fat burning ability.
The simple truth is…only slow, gradual weight loss is effective. So why not give a new fitness program a try? Embody Workout offers the perfect solution-with routines from weight loss and bulking up to high school soccer and pro football… Click this link to sign up for one of our free workout programs now!"

Women's Sports Channel: Masters Plan For Women's Pigskin: Februari
"Looking back just five years ago, the landscape of women's professional sports in 1996 was all but barren. With the exception of individual sports like tennis and golf, there was almost no opportunity for woman athletes to pursue a career in sports past the collegiate level.
But in the aftermath of the 1996 Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta, Georgia, women's sports on a national level gradually came to life."

Det anser professor Björn Beermann på Läkemedelsverket, som vill att läkemedelsföretagen skriftligen förbinder sig att göra även studier med negativa resultat tillgängliga för allmänheten."
Cyberpump: Which Supplements are Best… A Definitive Comment!:
"It is undeniably obvious that human nature is subliminally affected by advertising. Hell, when you have some stud with a knockout, well endowed blonde gracing his 20” arm as part of an advertising ploy to convince you that this is THE supplement for you, it is hard not to be sucked into believing that it is. Deep down you may be thinking that this has to be “THE ONE” for you even though you said the last supplement(s) you tried fell short of it’s expectations, so back to the store you go for one more try."
Seven Days VT: Weight Watching: 7 februari
"No wonder the economy has been so strong. Think of the billions generated each year just through this orchestrated see-saw of bingeing and abstinence. What I find more interesting, though, are the subtle ways in which our increasingly porky culture has recalibrated feelings about fat, and how those shifts have come to be exploited in the pursuit and maintenance of celebrity."

We're going to get him to talk about everything from training and dieting, to the behind the scenes antics of various magazines, supplement companies and other figures."
Cyberpump: Rows:
"Motivation for performance: Probably the most important reason for doing rows, and the least mentioned, is the postural benefits you can receive if you do them correctly. As we age, we tend to have our shoulders slump forward, rounding the upper back. If you do lots of bench pressing, or if you don't stretch your chest muscles, this tendency is exaggerated, and you might even get those pulled forward shoulders while still very young."

goodauthority.org: The Tower Has Fallen: 2 februari
"It seems impossible, but Doug Hepburn is dead. The bigger tragedy is that you have probably never heard of him. This is because people don't care about reality any more, they only seem to care about the illusion of excellence. Real superiority in any endeavor is usually purchased through great tribulation and suffering, and in North America we simply are not interested in anything save Holy Illusion."
