@WellBuiltStyle @Examinecom Therefore, it's better to do heavier sets, as it'll save you time. Unless you have an injury, of course.

What causes more muscle growth in the biceps and quads?
Heavy sets of 8-12 done to failure?
Or lighter sets of 20-25 done to failure?
Answer: both appear to produce similar amounts of muscle gain.
Fantastic summary below taken from @Examinecom

@waaliahmed If you are suggesting we build community for more theoretical discussions -- absolutely is the plan!
Forums, public notes, lists, etc.
English
@Examinecom Verifiable. But its what these little searches on platforms as yours offer a glimpse into some discussion/ exploration carried elsewhere, wouldn't you think so?
A disclaimer at the end so we don't take things at face value but just to get a sneak peak. There's value in that too.

Be very careful when consulting AI for *trustworthy* information about food! This article from @Examinecom is a wakeup call.

@nextgenguy @thetrickytrade To clarify: we do not use AI/LLMs for any analysis.
It's getting there, but still many holes. Plus, hallucinations are a big concern in health.

@thetrickytrade Wouldn’t a deep research with academic paper filter give better insights for free or existing ai subscription?
English
If you are even remotely into fitness and take supplements, the best money you can spend (yes better than even the supplements themselves) is getting an Examine+ subscription.
One stop resource before taking any supplements. Actual research based benefits, risks, dosage information, safety, everything!
Yes it can be expensive for some in India at $198 per year, I hope @Examinecom considers a PPP based pricing. They have discounts fpr students and seniors tho.

@Willieshoes @Vincent_Ledvina Yes, the G4 geomagnetic storm could make auroras visible in South Carolina tonight, especially in northern areas. Best viewing: after midnight, away from lights, facing north. Check NOAA for real-time updates.

MUST READ thread before Monday night's forecasted G4 / SEVERE geomagnetic storm. Auroras could be seen as far south as the U.S.-Mexico border at times. Widespread mid-latitude displays are possible. Here's what you need to know to have a successful aurora chase tonight! 🧵

@tobinjstone Examine.com was arguing that it’s one of the few supplements that actually do something useful for weight control as of ~3 years ago

Is there a good write up anywhere that explains how the current protein obsession came about, and why people seem to believe that a food simply having more protein makes it healthier?

this is literally the first sane move starbucks has made since they turned the entire chain into a sugar dispensary with wifi. if i were running starbucks (god forbid), i’d double down on this & make the stores feel less like a diabetic graveyard, push a whole line of health forward drinks, protein foams, boosted milks, low cal innovations while still keeping the sweet stuff but stop letting it define the brand. you can run a bifurcated menu without losing the plot. the stores & the entire brand desperately needs a fresh redesign that fits more in line with the insta aesthetic imho as well.

"Sugar has drug like effects similar to cocaine! You get the same sort of dopamine hit and it's just as addictive."
How many times have you heard some guru say something like this?
Probably not the case...
Milkshake data below is based off a clinical trial where a group of 50 obese subjects were given a milkshake rich in fat and sugar and their dopamine response was measured.
FYI - lower values below indicate a greater dopamine release.
Great little chart put together by @Examinecom

Wieso liest man nicht mehr über Frauen spezifische Forschung? Und wieso erfährt man so etwas nur durch unendliche Sucherei?!?

@mattallen876 We have over 100+ academic institutions that have purchased Examine+ access: examine.com/plus/academic-…
If you're interested Matt, I highly recommend you nudge your librarian -- they are far more likely to listen to their own students than anyone else.

Another hot take! Most of us who work with patients, Doctor or not i.e clinical nutritionists like myself DO actively search up drug interactions when we have patients. I love @Examinecom and @Medscape We are not just typing in google we have applications for this!

@justabdulraouf @TheVaibhavShrma Those are caveats/concerns.
It is incorrect to extrapolate that information as "it is not good for you."
English
@Examinecom @TheVaibhavShrma and the lack of studies of its effects on pregnancy + its effects on people with unhealthy kidneys + the lack of studies on long term effects. it’s not just about your article. the uncertainty of some topics around it is concerning.
