👊🏻MythBusters: sugar is poison
Sugar has been demonized and is considered unnecessary in the diet, since the book "Pure, white and deadly" was published several nutritionists have used biased information to sell "healthy" sugar-free diets, but this is not the case.
👨🏼🔬Reasons why sugar is not
toxic / biases in clinical trials
❗️All the studies that show a direct relationship between excessive sugar consumption and diabetes have been carried out in obese 🍔 and sedentary people 😴.
❗️Studies that are based on animals cannot be extrapolated to humans, since our conversions are very different from theirs 🔄 (5% VS 50% in some cases).
❗️Metabolic disorders from consuming sugary drinks 🧃 ONLY happens when a high calorie diet is carried out in a sedentary person, if it is not the case it is proven that they do not occur.
❗️Sugary drinks tend to "make us fat" because liquid intake is much easier to digest and we tend to abuse them ✖️.
❗️Fruit is healthy, it has various micronutrients that other foods do not provide and they are very healthy 🍇.
❗️Insulin spikes and the reduction of insulin sensivity caused by them will only happen in people with previous metabolic disorders 🧬, in fact your protein shakes cause a bigger insulin spike 📈 than any sugary drink you can imagine (due to an increase in hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide 1).
👨🏼🔬Conclusions
❕A recent meta-analysis of more than 50 randomized clinical trials in healthy people showed that there was no relationship between sugar and metabolic diseases ✅.
❕Although the consumption of sugar has decreased 📉 over time in the United States, obesity has increased 📈, the problem may be ultra-processed foods.

👊🏻Mythbusters: all calories are not the same
How is your holiday? Did you eat more than usual. Let's start this year with the relevant topic 😉. Nowadays everyone tries to sell you a magic diet, demonizing the rest of diets, normally keto, carnivorous (no its not corona-virus), low carb diets etc. are based on the same argument, not all calories are the same, today I will explain why this is a lie.
❌What are they based on?
❗️For example, they are based on obesity studies that indicate that the higher the amount of sugar 🍬, the greater the risk of diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
❗️They are based on the specific effects that different types of macronutrients have, for example the thermogenic 🌡 effect.
❗️Finally, they are based on any clinical trial that suits them (straw man fallacy) , even if it does not have the necessary evidence to be published in a prestigious journal 📑 or they lack the appropriate methodology ✖️ (randomized double-blind groups).
👨🏼🔬Pointing out the falsehoods
❕A calorie is a calorie, it is a mere unit of energy ⚡️.
❕Indeed, the different macronutrients have a different thermogenic effect, taking this into account if we make the equivalence 🔄 within a CICO system, it does not matter where the calories come from.
❕Carnivorous or keto diets are based on a high 📈consumption of proteins and fats and on a zero consumption of carbohydrates, what is not taken into account is that the thermogenic 🔥 effect of protein does not compensate for the extra calories from fat compared to carbohydrates.
❕As we already demonstrated last week, a healthy and active person 🏃🏼 will not develop metabolic diseases even if they consume a lot of sugar.
❕Insulin is non-toxic ☠️, people who attack high carbohydrate diets for insulin spikes never mention that whey protein causes the same insulin spike as white bread 🍞.

👊🏻Mythbusters: Test flu is a bacterial infection
Steroid users will have heard of the test flu, it is basically a feverish reaction that is associated with an infection, we are going to disprove this myth today.
👨🏼🔬Explanation
❕Testosterone, once injected, will break down into different metabolites 🧬, one of them is Ethiocholanolone.
❕Ethiocholanolone is an inhibitory neurosteroid 🧠, which means that it inhibits the actions of neurotransmitters.
❕Ethiocholanolone exerts an immunostimulating effect, which means that it can trigger fevers 🌡and other immune responses in the affected body, responses that are associated with disease 🤒.
💉Short esters and Test Flu
❗️The reason this is more likely to occur with a short ester like propionate rather than enanthate is because higher amounts 📈 of testosterone are released much faster and the body hasn't had a chance to adapt yet.
💡Tip
You can use longer esters or microdose short esters using subq injections to avoid it, we can also use Tylenol 💊 along with sodium bicarbonate to reduce the effect 👌🏻.

👊🏻Mythbusters: HGH Special Edition
There are many rumors about growth hormone, we are going to bust some of them today.
👨🏼🔬Myths
❕You can't shake growth hormone: FALSE, growth hormone can be shaken once reconstituted, it has been proven that it can withstand up to 200,000 shakes 👋🏻 without losing its purity.
❕Pharmacy growth hormone is better than the generic version: TRUE / FALSE, if they have the same purity and dimer content they will have exactly the same quality 🧬 (although the pharmacy HGH ensures this quality in each batch).
❕Growth hormone cannot be stored at room temperature before being reconstituted: FALSE, growth hormone can last for weeks and even months at room temperature 🌡 without losing its purity.

👊🏻Mythbusters: why my pharmagrade Viagra / Sildenafil works better.
Most of the gym bros continue to think that because they are “Pharma” the substances work better, in the case of having the same purity they both work exactly the same (pharmacy HGH is not magical and Bayer Primobolan neither) ... but in the case of ED drugs there may be a little difference.
👨🏼🔬Explanation
❕Sildenafil has a salt attached, hence its name "Sildenafil citrate" 🔬, this salt has a certain molecular weight.
❕When you buy the pharmaceutical version you can read the following: "Each tablet contains sildenafil citrate equivalent to 100 mg of sildenafil.", that means it has REAL 100mg of sildenafil 💊.
❕On the other hand, non-pharmaceutical laboratories 🧪 use 100mg of sildenafil citrate, which is not equivalent to the actual 100mg of sildenafil.
📜Final verdict
❗️Although the non-pharmaceutical version does indeed have a lower actual amount of the active ingredient, the doses used by the average PED user are so high that the difference would be impossible to tell 🤷🏼.

👊🏻MythBusters: Nandrolone and Trenbolone elevates prolactin.
Normally the gym bros believe that Trenbolone and Nandrolone raise prolactin, that is why it is usually advisable to take Cabergoline or B6 during the cycle ... but this is completely false, if you have elevated prolactin it will be due to other causes such as damage to the hypophysis, in the thyroid glands or due to the abuse of HGH.
👨🏼🔬Explanation and scientific evidence
❕To date, there is not a single clinical trial 📑 in humans or cattle (both steroids are often used a lot in cows, and their mammary tissues are very easy to analyze) that demonstrate that the use of Tren or Nandrolone causes an increase in the prolactin.
❕In bovine animals 🐄: no change was observed in their prolactin levels ❌.
❕In humans 🤷🏼♂️: it was seen that the use of Nandrolone decreased 📉 by almost HALF the prolactin levels (71ng / mL to 42ng / mL) that were in the base and testosterone instead increased 📈 the prolactin levels (71ng / mL to 78ng / mL ).
❗️The main culprit for the increases in prolactin levels during steroid cycles are estrogens and aromatizable steroids 💉, since local aromatization increases prolactin levels according to clinical trials and, as seen in transgender 🏳️⚧️ women, elevated estrogen levels increase prolactin 👎🏻.

👊🏻Mythbusters: Creatine causes cancer
A few days ago a clinical trial was published stating that creatine causes cancer ... can this be true? Well, the truth is that it can’t, as stated by Dr. Richard Creider along with 29 other experts in a critique of this clinical trial.
👨🏼🔬Problems
❕They used mice 🐁 in which cancerous cell lines were transplanted.
❕They were given an extremely high dose of creatine, the equivalent of 560 grams in a 154-pound person 🤯.
🧪Explanation
❕Those mice were much more likely to develop cancer, regardless of the cause 👎🏻.
❕Anything in massive doses can kill you, even water 💧 .
❕One of the previously published clinical trials showed that creatine could have anticancer 🛡 properties in mice.

👊🏻Mythbusters: Diabetes from using insulin
Dropping insulin in the blood flow increases insulin resistance and can suppress the normal insulin production of our own body and thus promotes diabetes... or it can lead to the abnormal response of our immune system and make this vital hormone hostile to our body ... But is this true?
✅ Short answer: NO.
⚔️ Since it does not cause an immune reaction, using insulin exogenously cannot cause diabetes. The type 1 is the autoimmune disease.
🥵 The type 2 on the other hand comes to its active form when the pancreas gives up after a long term overload against the neglected insulin resistance... 90-95% of type 2 diabetes comes from the people suffering from obesity and very inactive sedentary lifestyle.
💡The insulin cycles impact on the insulin resistance can be drastically decreased :
❕while insulin cycles are performed, the cycles stop when fasting glucose is above 100mg / DL.
❕To accelerate the recovery of insulin sensitivity consume Berberine at doses of 500 to 1000mg per day.

👊🏻Mythbusters: Testosterone shots cause prostate cancer
❓The prostate is filled with DHT or dihydrotestosterone receptors and the higher your testosterone levels, the higher your DHT levels, which presumably starts protein transcription and eventually leads to the prostate to grow, right?
❕This is probably the case for heavy abusers, but studies have shown that TRT on hypogonadal men actually causes the prostate to reach a normal size (from undersized). Which in fact even lower the risk of prostate cancer. Undersized prostate remains much bigger factor of getting prostate cancer than the opposite scenario. However, if there are cases of prostate cancer in the family, testosterone should be taken with care or at least with the help of a doctor.

🔖 Pro Tip: How not to inject steroids 💉❌
Go to any message board, and at some point you will find people asking how to inject steroids. Often some ways being considered are nothing short of ridiculous yet one in particular stands out - how to inject steroids intravenously...❓
❗️Here I have to be very, very, clear: you do not inject anabolic steroids intravenously as it is dangerous. Anabolic steroids are meant to be injected direct into the muscle tissue, however some steroids can also be injected subcutaneously, which means into the upper layer of fat just under the skin.
