Pasta makes you fat

Turns out that having your post workout pasta will not make you fat!

You think we are that naive?

The website associated with this ad posted the following: The American Medical Association (AMA) recently concluded that "high fructose corn syrup does not appear to contribute to obesity more than other caloric sweeteners."

Their argument is that you are going to eat substances that make you fat but High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) is not worse than the other sweetners.

You sold me!?! Too bad that our society doesn't eat anything in moderation. The Corn refiners think we are idiots. There is a graphical correlation of the start of major soda companies using HFCS instead of sugar and the diabetes epidemic we are seeing.

Our bodies are designed to filter toxins from our bodies, otherwise a lot of us wouldn't have made it out of our twenty's but that doesn't mean we should abuse it. Yes, HFCS are probably fine in moderation but they do not contribute to a healthier lifestyle and we have seen their abuse. Why don't we as a society try to change the mindset of sugar/HFCS abuse.

I will get off my soap box now and let the presidential candidates take over.

Great example of human potential

It is always good to strive past what you are currently capable of. One of the items that I have been stressing is body control and the use of body weight exercises. This is the upper reaches of body control and it's impressive.
