The Truth On DHT: What The Research Shows
Hi all, There is a common misconception that DHT causes prostate cancer, hair loss and what else not. I've been sifting through the research on what the effects of high DHT actually is and what happens if men take large doses of DHT for long periods of time. Here are my findings: The truth on...- Hans

Muscles & Health: Overview, Theories, Development, Etc
So it seems some here have attacked Peat's general ideologies in respect to "muscle gainz" in a way -- i.e. some here discredit him because "his diet" doesn't necessarily encourage significant muscle growth in all (although I'd say here that almost no "diet" per se does this magically for...- MetabolicTrash

How Nutritious Is Animal FAT Really?
In the paleo, keto and especially carnivore communities, people usually praise animal fat, also for it's "high nutrient-density". But all sources I've looked at show that there aren't a lot of nutrients at all. I usually use Nährwertrechner, an incredibly detailed german food database. Here's... -
Muscle Twitching After Applying Magnesium Serum
Hi guys! As far as I understand, muscle twitching is a way of the body telling it needs more magnesium. Does anyone know why muscles start to twitch after? Normally the muscle twitching happens sporadically, but after applying magnesium serum it happens multiple times on thesame day.- superGrover

Cholesterol And SFA Are Anabolic; PUFA/MUFA Akin To Chemical Castration

Estrogen Is NOT Needed For Muscle / Bone Growth And Anabolism
I have had my eye on posting this study for at least 3 years now but something more important always came up, so I kept putting it off.

Heat Therapy Restores Mitochondrial Function In Human Muscles
