• Soy is NOT a miracle food.
• Soy is NOT the answer to world hunger
• Soy is NOT a panacea.
• Soy has NOT even been proven safe.

Hundreds of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies link soy to:



Malnutrition Digestive distress Thyroid dysfunction Cognitive decline Reproductive disorders Infertility Birth defects Immune system breakdown Heart disease Cancer

From a recent study:

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 1 in 4 deaths annually. It has been estimated that one third of all cancer deaths are related to overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet. Epidemiological studies have shown that regular physical activity reduces the risk for some types of cancer as well as postdiagnosis mortality.

Let’s break it down. Physical activity reduces risk of:

Breast cancer: by at least 20%. Higher levels of recreational physical activity especially demonstrated greater risk reduction.

Colon cancer: by 20% or more.

Endometrial cancer: about 30%.

And for the manpeople, prostate cancer: exact risk reduction unclear; however physical activity may protect against the more aggressive forms of the disease.

Worldliness and all the false concepts that depend upon ignorance for their
survival: To the average person, it seems impossible that the accumulated
bullshit that passes for knowledge can be comparatively value-less.

We hasten to embrace that which has been made “respectable” by general
acceptance and then wonder why WE SHARE IN THE COMMON DISASTER!

• December 2006, Canadian researchers reported that just two weeks of interval training boosted women's ability to burn fat during exercise by 36%.

• In January 2007, a six-month study was published showing that adding aerobic exercise had no additional effect on body composition, over diet alone.

• In June of 2007, a twelve-month study was published which had the subjects doing six hours of aerobic exercise per week, training six days a week, for one year. The average weight loss was only three pounds for that one-year period.

• According to a British study, levels of Human Growth Hormone, which assists in building muscle and burning fat, skyrocketed 530% in subjects after just thirty seconds of sprinting as fast as they could on a stationary bike.

• Australian fitness researchers had eighteen women perform twenty minutes of interval training on a stationary bike — eight-seconds of sprinting followed by twelve seconds of recovery — throughout the workout, three days a week.

The women lost an average of five-and-a-half pounds over fifteen weeks, without dieting. Similar groups performing forty minutes of moderate cycling, three days a week, actually gained a pound of fat over the same period. Two of the heavier women who did intervals dropped eighteen pounds.

• In a side-by-side comparison, researchers at McMaster University in Ontario measured fitness gains in eight interval exercisers — using twenty to thirty minute cycling workouts that included four to six thirty-second sprints — against eight volunteers who pedaled at a lower intensity for 90 to 120 minutes.

After two weeks, the interval group was every bit as fit as those who worked out three to four times as long.

• To fix a problem, consider a short experiment with dead stop (FIC) movements exactly at your sticking point. Don't do a billion reps, just a few.

• Ab work won't give you a six-pack. It will, however, be the best support work you can do for your entire training regimen.

• Instead of embarrassing yourself on a treadmill, burn fat using a barbell or dumbbell with either Tabata front squats or a HIIT version of farmer's walks.

How could anyone hate an egg? Yet, 20 years ago, the dietary naysayers decided that the cholesterol in eggs was translating to artery-clogging cholesterol in the blood -- and eggs splattered onto the no-no list.

Finally, some scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health looked at a population of 117,000 nurses who had been followed for eight to 14 years and found no difference in heart disease risk between those who ate one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg a day.

Another study reported in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that eggs tended to satisfy obese and overweight subjects more than a bagel breakfast with an equal calorie count. Eggs might even be a good diet food!

Heat. It can take a toll on your body, as anyone who's worked or played
in extreme conditions can attest. Heat impairs performance, increases
stress and reduces endurance. Heat-related illnesses can develop, and
even escalate into fatal heat stroke. Keeping cool is essential to
athletes, firefighters, industrial workers, and people susceptible to
heat stress.
