This 2023 paper sought to answer the question of whether bodybuilding causes people to die early, to explain the SOLE observation that "In 2021, over two dozen professional competitive bodybuilders died suddenly."

Gee, what happened in 2021 to make people "die suddenly"? Image
These authors deservedly spend a considerable amount of time discussing whether anabolic steroid use could worsen cardiovascular risk.

They seem puzzled by the fact that Arnold and Lou are still alive, and why table 1 shows that all the died-suddenly bodybuilders died in 2021.

They go into great depth into other hypotheses, which they do not give much credence to, but they even ask the question of whether CREATINE of all things could have been the cause!

CREATINE, like it came out in 2021! Like it hasn't been the most studied supplement on the planet, like we don't already know for a fact that creatine does not cause people to plop over dead!
WHAT HAPPENED IN 2021????

I can't figure it out. It must be the steroids. LMAO.

The foundational origin myth of the "vaccines don't cause autism" cult is the retraction of the "fraudulent" Wakefield paper.

Just like Stalin erased Trotsky from photos of him and Lenin, they erase from history the larger 1996 Fudenberg paper that was never retracted.
Published two years before Wakefield's paper, Fudenberg found that in 15 out of 22 autistics enrolled between 1984 and 1987, onset was within one week of the MMR vaccine. Image
Fudenberg was drawing attention to the link in the 1980s, had his license revoked in 1995, and can be found dismissed as a quack on various sites like Wikipedia and Quackwatch.

Methylene Blue on the Airplane

…or underwater.

🧵 Image
I talked to someone last night who said he uses methylene blue under two circumstances:
1) On airplanes that don’t have sufficient maintenance of oxygen concentrations in the cabin, he is unable to work effectively due to fatigue and haze, but methylene blue resolves this.

The Worst Longevity Idea Ever Conceived

The last thing you want to do is perpetually inhibit your mTOR.

🧵 Image
Rapamycin is a darling of the longevity community.

I find it very hard to read the literature on this molecule without shuddering at the idea of taking it to lengthen lifespan.
And yet, it can benefit your mitochondria — but only if you use it very carefully.

I have heard it said that rapamycin is the leading longevity molecule because of the robustness of the literature in mice.

My Oxalate Protocol

Oxalate causes crystals in the kidney, breasts, and brain, and is a powerful mitochondrial toxin that almost certainly shortens your lifespan and destroys your healthspan.

🧵 Image
Do you have autism or have a friend or family member who has autism?

Oxalate levels are three times higher in autistics.
Do your hands and feet tingle when they shouldn’t?

Oxalate crystals have been found in peripheral nerves, where they can contribute to peripheral neuropathy.

Why I Don't Care About Zone 2 Cardio

And what I do instead.

🧵 Image
In 2022, inspired by Peter Attia’s interviews with Inigo San Millan, I experimented with measuring my lactate during exercise to calibrate my cardio to zone 2.
The gist of the argument in favor of this is that 80% of your cardio training should be in zone 2, because this maximizes the mitochondrial capacity of slow-twitch muscle fibers.
