So here it is. There is a direct brain effect of carbohydrates that improve athletic performance and which is independent of a metabolic effect in the exercising muscles. But all the arguments, except that proposed by @PaulBLaursen, are that ingesting >100g carbohydrate per hour improves performance through a metabolic effect (which we have proved can't be the reasons). Now we can all take a big sigh of relief and get on with properly understanding this and related phenomena.
AND we can perhaps also decide who we should be advising to use this expensive and difficult to implement technique, to improve their exercise performance that final small percent. I'm suggesting it should be restricted to only that small group of athletes at the peak performance edge of sport. And let's tell all the other runners why they will do perfectly well on 10-20g carbs per hour during prolonged exercise.

@Domestique___ Budget cap in a poor spot, they hear budget cap in mega rich American leagues and suddenly think it’s a good idea for a struggling European sport
The problem with JD Vance commenting on UK politics is that his comment was a bad one. The death of Henry Nowak is not considered, by most critics of the government here, an immigration issue. It’s a police training issue. An issue with a misaligned state that prioritises managing multiculturalism over doing its actual job.
Sean Penn says he decided to stop attending award shows (including this year’s Oscars, where he won Best Supporting Actor) after being bombarded by people asking for selfies at the Golden Globes.
"People should not do selfies ever with anyone. It’s bad for you; it’s bad for everyone. It’s a soul-sucker,” Penn said. “It’s the Holocaust grandmother and her 6-year-old paraplegic wheeling over? It’s a hard no."

Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
@ImadeIyamu Now we know 8 months of being confined indoors is even a bigger problem than any virus, I supported the lockdown but it shouldn’t have lasted that long.
Bryan Johnson just discovered fatigue and rebranded it as "biological age..."
Newsflash: Jet lag TEMPORARILY impacts physical performance.
That has NOTHING to do with biological age.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
