@preset_2m3 Take a look at https://t.co/1vawJAmo56 for local stores near your current and new place. Or you could box it up and take it on a flight as a checked item—American, delta, and united have the most leeway with dimensions & no extra bike fees. https://t.co/jLEsv7fx1H

@mcandrus @DaveRamsey What repairs did you do?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history.

Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%.

I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.

Remember when Paul Saladino said protein powder was “BS” and “not ancestral”?
Now he’s selling whey protein powder… complete with colostrum, collagen, and—wait for it—an autographed frother.

Because apparently nothing screams “ancestral living” like a signed milk-foam machine. 🥴
And he’s calling it “undenatured whey.”
 Spoiler: that phrase means absolutely nothing.
 All commercial whey is already “undenatured.”
 Even if it weren’t, denaturation is a natural and necessary process—it’s literally what happens when your stomach digests protein.
 Bragging about “undenatured whey” is like bragging your ice is “wet.”

The irony? This is the same guy who’s preached for years to avoid processed foods and claimed protein powder is BS.

 Now he’s selling one of the most processed supplements on the market.
Science didn’t change.
His business model did.
Oh and adding colostrum? Completely superfluous. Colostrum doens’t do anything that regular whey protein doesn’t do other than drain your wallet, Paul’s favorite pastime.

•Tang et al., 2009 – Whey > casein/soy for muscle protein synthesis (PMID: 19589961)


•Morton et al., 2018 – Meta-analysis: protein supplementation improves training gains (PMID: 28698222)


•Phillips, 2016 – Protein quality matters; whey supports growth & recovery (PMID: 27529274)


So yeah… welcome to Team Whey, Paul.
Took you long enough—and thanks for the autograph, I’ll treasure my frother forever. ☕😂

@aloukissas @FitFounder Could you link it in this thread?

Protein powders aren’t poisoning you, but we need supplement regulation.

I wrote an article on the lead in protein powder headlines, actual science (it ain’t prop 65 & consumer reports)

and what we should be discussing about supplements:

@DONTILLINNOYME I’ve been using it for pre and post workout supplements. Nice to not have a big bottle when there’s water fountains all around the gym too.

@jacasiegel Stunning pics! Were there any specific permits required in any of the areas within the park?

Our Future Surgeon General Casey Means Doesn’t Understand Scientific Research

I am sure there is no way this won’t get politicized so I am going to start out by stating my politics. I come from a conservative family. I am a registered independent but I lean strongly to socially liberal and fiscally conservative and I tend to vote that way. So before anyone accuses me of being a ‘liberal soyboy’ or something of the like, you need to check yourself.

Just because I have certain political leaning does NOT mean I turn my brain off & don’t form my own opinions. When it comes to the presidential nomination for Surgeon General, Casey Means, I am NOT impressed AT ALL. 

In this clip she sh**s on seed oils becuase of how they are made, calling them disgusting

Frankly, I don’t give a sh*t how something is made. I promise you if I walked you through the process of water purification, I could scare you with that

It is horrifying to me that the Surgeon General nomination doesn’t understand basic solvent extraction chemistry. I assume she had to take organic chemistry as a pre-med, perhaps she forgot it all, I’m not sure what the reason is, but it blows my mind that she hasn’t bothered to actually read the research

Seed oils/plant oils like canola oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil have repeatedly been demonstrated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality compared to saturated fat sources like butter (PMID: 40048719). They also reduce inflammation & improve metabolic health/insulin sensitivity compared to saturated fat sources (PMIDs: 31369090 & 22492369)

Here’s hoping that Casey will bother to read some of the research before she starts making public health decisions
