![]() ![]() Perhaps you're talking about IGF-1 supplements as opposed to milk. (Note the credit given to Mat for a lot of the info at the bottom of this article) I tend to put a lot of stock into what Mat LaLonde says, he's a really smart guy (harvard biochemist) who is also really active in the fitness scene so he comes at it from the perspective of somebody who understands the practicality of this stuff. It could've been a number of reasons for why the diet-soda guys gained weight, they probably had 4 doublecheeseburgers and large fries and ordered a diet coke 'because they're trying to cut out calories' or some other retarded reasoning, but that didn't matter much once the study hit the news.Ĭan I get some definitive evidence on that? Because doing a google search on that yields conflicting results. That's the only correlation they were probing for. They just asked people in questionaires about their habits and the ones drinking diet soda just happened to gain weight while the others didn't. Remember the 'diet coke makes you fat!'-media-rampage which went on a couple of months ago? Well, turns out that the study the media was basing their reports on was observational and in no way controlled. I find it very, very positive and comendable that fitness-folk are starting to rely more on hard evidence and studies, but I think we really need to take a closer look at what we accept as truth or viable information. The worst thing about studies like these is, that somewhere out there, a bodybuilding editor will write about it, 50 others will jump on it and this will give birth to the broscience warmachine which, once moving, is hardly to be stopped again. But the noobgains factor and the small sample size make the insights gained by this study irrelevant. Zahrada has a point, the results probably didn't happen by chance.
