Misconceptions about High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Reading the article game me a better understanding of why people are trying to ban it. This paper specifically (abstract below) defends HFCS which you don’t [...]

A Little Birdie Told Me…
It looks like Fredericton will be receiving a 70.3 distance race sponsored by Subaru. This will not be an Ironman race like the one that Newfoundland had. More like the West Coast Triathlon series in British Columbia.
The date has been selected as Labour Day weekend. This gives plenty of time for you athletes to book [...]

eDiscs from eLoad rock my socks. They taste like Sweet Tarts give you a boost when you need it AND are amusingly fizzy.
My family is irreverent, caustic and some might even say “crazy” and I wouldn’t have it any other [...]
Stretching
Stretching: Hate it, love it but do you need it?
Previous studies have demonstrated that an acute bout of static stretching may cause significant performance impairments. However, there are no studies investigating the effect of prolonged stretch training on stretch-induced decrements. It was hypothesized that individuals exhibiting a greater range of motion (ROM) in the correlation [...]
